Rhombophyllum dolabriforme Schwantes - BG Meise
Also called Elkhorn plant, but I prefer the "Thumbs Up" or "Way to Go" plant.
The Elkhorn Plant that I purchased a few days ago surprised me with a yellow flower. Here it is wide open, but the flower closes back at night.

When I got home this evening, I was surprised by a yellow flower from the Elkhorn Plant that I purchased just a few days ago. Here it is wide open, but the flower closes back at night.

Meet the newest member of my succulent family: Crabby
After work, I stopped by Home Depot to get some Sphagnum Moss so I can repot my Jewel Orchids. I stopped by the succulent area and this one caught my eye. I had to get it!
The label reads: Family: Aizoaceae / Genus: Mimicry Collection / Common Name: Mimicry.
I believe Mimicry is a generic term for plants that blend in with their surroundings like Split Rock, Lithops, etc... so I don't think this is the true botanical name... Google, here I come...
[Update] I searched Google and found a page on a GardenWeb Forum which had an image so the same exact plant. With further investigation, I've determined that this plant is Rhombophyllum dolabriforme or Elkhorn Plant.
[Update Mar. 1, 2007] Just a few days after purchasing this plant, it bloomed.
