Many of the plants we put on our Great Wall got eaten by gophers, horrid little birds, squirrels, rabbits, horses and probably pigs. This pretty little plant, originally brought from Death Valley by daughter Hilary, was originally accompanied by a lot of succulents. All the succulents were eaten, and this plant, whose name I never knew, survived nicely and is thriving. Must taste awful.Recently we put about a dozen ceramic fish on the wall, filling in where plants used to be. I don’t recall putting this particular fish so near the pot, and only yesterday saw that it’s about to munch this lone remaining plant. What am I to do?
The fish, by the way, was made by Marilyn MacKenzie, a friend from way back in high school days. She has a fanciful interpretation of many animals, and has a Web site here.

I think that plant is familiarly known as a 'hen and chicks' plant over here. I don't know its scientific name.
Just as well you don't have any other marine creatures stalking the Great Wall. Hen and Chicks is obviously fish food.
