Growing at the "Pixie" Restaurant in Aptos CA

Unusual for it's yellow color.
Small, beautiful. Growing right near the ocean.

Thanks, I love it, and am soooooo tempted to take a cutting. I hope you can help me name it, so I can find it to purchase.

Hi Judy - that is intensely yellow! Some clones of common succulents have more or less colouration depending on growing conditions.

This is Aeonium haworthia 'Kiwi' which will show different amounts of variegation under different conditions; here in the winter under low light conditions, the whole plant goes green, only to change into that lovely pink and gold variegation as the weather warms up.

Check the Aeonium page and compare your plant to the pictures there - you'll see it's the same.
