I'm not entirely positive, but I believe it's the 'Bishops Form' cultivar of E. x variabile. If that does not seem right to you [and you are vastly more knowledgeable than me on these things, I can try to track it down via the eBay seller I purchased it from.
By the way, thanks for sharing your photos. You have some incredible plantings shown there, and a great source of inspiration.

Thank you, I'll have a look for that one.
Thanks for the kind comments too - mainly just weeds form my garden, but I'm glad you like them.

How did you manage that planting of sulfur tuft mushrooms? Did you lift them as a clump and then pot them?

Do you guys know what variety of Erodium you are using, that 'trunks up'? I can't find anything that looks like that around here.
This one is Bishop’s Form. I did fine a little “trunk” developing in the one I shared earlier, so I potted it up into this Tofu:

Def hard to keep accents happy in small pots here in the high desert, but this hedgehog cactus group has flowerd every year for me for the last 4 years. Hoping I can get every cactus in the group to do the same at the same time.

Hmm... I replied to this a few days ago but it seems to have vanished in the site update.

Yes, it was a short term planting with a lifted clump. I've tried growing them from a piece of 'infected' wood in the pot as well, but with limited success.

Thanks @shinmai and @Brian Van Fleet for the Erodium info - I'll be looking for that variety.

Obligatory picture: there's a kokedama being developed at the left of the picture.
