After reading through this interesting thread, I'd like to post a few images from it, and a few others;

These 2 are a reminder of this species common name - 'Pygmy Joshua Tree'

Here is the true Pygmy Joshua tree - Yucca (Clistoyucca) brevifolia 'var. jaegeriana':

Image

Despite this question being OT, what is the name of the Pachyphytum shown here?

Image

It reminds me of this cultivar Pachyphytum 'Sweet Dumpling'

Image

Or this one Pachyphytum 'Cheese Sweetball'

Thanks for sharing this, I haven't seen that Yucca before and the similarity is indeed striking! I wish Sedums grow better in my odd indoor setup (I suspect it's too warm in winter for many, but I will give them another go one day).

It's Sedum pachyphyllum I think.

That's correct. If it gets cold it tends to get patches of stem rot and drop heads all over the place. It's the thin blue form apparently but doesn't grow particularly well for me. Sedum rubrotinctum is a bit hardier here and just does that little bit better. S. pachypyllum has to come indoors over winter. The photo below is the one currently on the kitchen window sill. Sedum allantoides is a good alternative too if you're looking into growing something similar.
