Thank you Jellis. I see why you think it is from the Echeveria family, the flowers are very similar.
LuisStevens
Thank you jprat001, sorry no pictures of the base.

Jellis, I thank you your interest in ID this plant. I had never seen anything like this.
Jellis
but I still believe it's in the Echeveria family somehow
Jellis
That's what it looks like but not enough flowers. Hope that helps a little
jprat001

Dan Doucette
That's what you meant in the description, I get it now. Then it reminds me of Portulaca or maybe something in that family.
LuisStevens
Dan, the spikes are the leaves, really strange, never seen it before. Thanks for your interest.
Dan Doucette
Do you have a pic of the leaves? That might help. I've seen these type of flowers before. It's some sort of succulent.
