I do not know how it got the name Monkey, but it does look like a puzzle. I live in the desert, where there are succulent plants which look similar. These types of plants fascinate me.

Hi hg_williams3. I've heard monkey puzzle nuts are quite delicious - ever tried one? It's nice to see the variety of plants we have locally. You should join the Plants of Britain mission: www.projectnoah.org/missions/22624101 - Happy spotting!
