Unknown red blossom, Southern California

Brilliant little blossom,
If I knew your name,
You would soon be on your way
To enjoying fame!

    How unusual. I've never seen flowers like it! Where were they growing?

    Fascinating, chunky red blossom. The waxy shine seems to have a cactus connection.

    I think it is Echeveria derenbergii [Painted Lady], is a succulent in the family Crassulaceae, endemic to Mexico.

    It really is amazing. Looks waxy, hardy. I wonder about its name now too! Your verse suits it so well.
    Thank you for your visit to my blog. I am not sure if I have landed at the correct blog among your many for the haiku meme.....
