In S. California, the city fathers are "encouraging" home owners to
conserve water.....i.e., they are raising the water rates.
Many of us are responding by creating gardens of Succulents and Cacti
which are quite attractive and tolerate drought very well.
My wife picked up this succulent at a local nursery a few months ago but
did not get its name. It has grown into a huge and attractive plant.
Anybody know what the botanical or common name for this puppy is?

Looks like Aeonium arboreum 'Luteovariegatum'.

Another one to try is Aeonium manriqueorum 'Zwartkop' which is very dark
reddy/brown, quite striking and often used over here as a bedding
centrepiece for the summer.
