xerophyte: a plant that needs little water

Our neighbor, the extraordinary landscaper Dan, gave us this drought resistant plant yesterday. It's a Pork and Beans Sedum. The name Pork and Beans made me wonder what other sedum varieties are called. Here is a selection:

Crazy Ruffles, Postman's Pride, Sea Lettuce, Burro Tail, Witch's Moneybags, Queen's Crown, Hens and Chickens, Dragon's Blood, and my favorite, Chubby Fingers.

Xerophytes in a xeric garden. In NM creating a xeric garden is called xeriscaping. Or in some cases ZEROscaping, (when it's a yard full of pebbles and not much else).
