Here is the information on your beautiful plant Karen. It is a species that was named after the area it is from.

High Country Gardens:
1" tall x 4-5" wide. Rabiea sp. Glenn (Glenn Cold Hardy Mesemb) is a handsome succulent that blooms in late winter/early spring with large quarter-sized bright yellow flowers. The chunky angular leaves grow to form a tight mat of foliage that wedges itself into the rocks of its native habitat. This has been one of the best, most cold-hardy species in HCG cheif horticulturist David Salman's Santa Fe rock garden and has an enormous tap root that is best wedged between two deep rocks at planting time. This unidentified species of Rabiea was originally collected at high elevation near the town of Glenn, in Free State, South Africa.
