a stretched Senecio? Just a guess.

Denise

Thanks Denise, your suggestion got me looking and I'm tempted to think it might be Senecio aizoides aka "Large Kleinia." There's not a whole lot out there, but the one description I read sounds pretty accurate:

"Large succulent with stout 3 to 5 foot long stems that arch up and snake along the ground bearing 3 to 6 inch long narrow blue-green leaves that are flat on the upper surface and round keeled below and end in a soft yet sharp looking tip."

Anyone agree, disagree, have other options? The pictures on the site with the description don't really look all that similar, but it's as close as I've seen.

Once again, thanks!

More likely this is the more commonly available Senecio mandraliscae, which is so stretched out because it is being grown indoors. It's used a lot here in California as either a massed ground cover or specimen accent succulent. Normally the stems would be much more compact; you wouldn't see any stem for the denseness of the foliage. I'd suggest cutting it way back, rerooting the stems in the same pot, and stick it close to a south facing window and rotate it regularly until it is warm enough to go outdoors again.

I'm linking to a photo close-up of this plant in a California garden, if you do a search with this botanical name on my Flickr site, you can see how good and vividly blue it can look when planted in mass outdoors.

It's a peetree.

@pennyhal, I actually spent a few minutes searching for this mystical "peetree" you mentioned before I got it ;P

@bahia, thank you - your analysis stands to reason. I've never had this outside, having just found it battered and broken on the Lowes clearance rack earlier this fall. It sits in front of a west facing sliding glass door, which is just about the most natural light it's ever going to get inside my house, which this time of year isn't a whole lot.

I really don't want to chop it down, as it's really quite unique(to me) as a weird sort of "exotic" house plant that gets lots of comments from guests. Unless you've got any strong advice to the contrary, I'm content to see how tall it can get while keeping it rotated so as to go high and straight as possible. I've been watering it once every two weeks and it's growing so fast it's practically visibly taller on a day by day basis.

Thanks much for the help and advice, I knew folks around here could help.

Kind Regards,
Adam
