Any clue what this succulent is?

[Beach Bum]

Picked up this cool succulent today at a succulent and craft sale. It was the only one and the vendor didn't even know what kind it was but it was something I've never seen before. Anybody have any clue what it is?

hello plant , and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum.
I've no idea what you are, but you're very interesting looking.

this is the closest I can find to your plant. Never seen before

Senecio articulatus aka candle plant.

Hey, Lexiii: Another plant lover! Good job. I'd never seen this before. Now I have to have one.

I think you're correct that it's in the Senecio family, however, the leaves don't look the same as the beautiful plant in your picture.

Succulents seem to be the only plants I don't kill immediately!

Thanks for the responses. My wife had spotted it and was on a mission. Her folks were right behind us and I'd mentioned her mom would probably want it but the claws came out when she heard it was the only one the vendor had. Don't get between a woman and her succulents I guess. I'd spotted another nice one at a yard sale just before I'd never seen either but it was in the fella's flower bed and he wouldn't part with it. The bottom one was like a wooden football almost. These succulents sure thrive here at beach. Coming from the Central Valley of Ca. I couldn't ever keep any alive.

The bottom one is Euphorbia obesa, one of my favorites. I know the red one too, but my old age memory is acting up and it won't come to the forefront.

I'd bet money those are all from Africa.

Lexiii you are correct! I was able to find some pics of a senecio articulata and that's exactly what it looks like. Sure hope mine blooms this pretty.
