Default I love dudleyas
Aww, I love Dudleyas and want a lot more. Esp. pulverulenta, brittonii, hassei, lanceolata, et al. I know a wild population in urban L.A. (species? wish I knew). I hope it survives!

My initial trigger of the silly portion of the thread was just a visual word scanning slip which was funny, esp. at a moment my duddies are not looking their best.

I would love to know more of the millions-of-years story of how our native California Crassulaceae diverged from their earliest common ancestors with Sedum, Graptopetalum, Echeveria, etc.

I think a lot this story remains untold.
