My guess: Cotyledon orbiculata
It's in the Crassulaceae, the same family as JAde Plant.
I did have more but I deleted them all. I'll try to find out what this is. I think at one point someone told me it is related to the Aloe plant. It reminds me of a smooth cactus but, I just have no idea. I'll go back through my pictures and see if I have any pics left. I took this at the University of Tennessee Agricultural Gardens. I was practicing with my new camera :)
This is a beautiful photo. It would be interesting to add more photos of the whole plant to be able to identify it.
