This was in a container of mixed succulents and sedums and I'd love to know its name. These have since been repotted and I can take more photos if that would help.
It's the one in the foreground, with the buds, that I'd like to identify:
Lin, I looked at a bunch of pictures of Delosperma last night and now I think you may have nailed it. I took another picture that shows some of the details that have me confused, but now I think the way the leaves look may be due to the stress the plant was experiencing (which I hope to have resolved!)

I wouldn't rule out Senecio yet. Those buds look like they'll pop open soon...

I agree! The shape is right for Delosperma, but I've never seen any with those ridges/veins before, and the buds should be larger in comparison to the leaves.
Thanks! Yes, it is the ridges or veins that puzzled me too.
My friend who gave me these plants was just visiting and I showed her the new arrangement. She says that the one in question is definitely not an ice plant, and she described the flowers as large and said they produce seeds that fluff out like dandelions and fly all over the place. Huh!
I'm wondering if it could be this: Blue Chalksticks (Kleinia repens) Looking at some pictures in our database, these look more like (a healthy version of) what I've got than anything else I've seen yet.

karmatree said:I have lots and lots of ice plant growing as ground cover...it doesn't look like ice plant....looks like Chalksticks to me (but overwatered
Wudn me did it!
I think I am going to settle on Chalksticks unless demonstrated otherwise, because it looks more like that than any of the other possibilities. Now I just hope I can revive it. Between having been overwatered, and then being pawed and chewed by my cat, it's had a hard road.
