 The leaves are pointed but wide at the base, unlike a spider plant.  The

 it most resembles is a crassula (sp?  is this right?  I don't want to mislead
 people who are being so helpful) but the leaves are not thick.  Batya >>

Another night owl, Batya!  I am aware that the succulent tribe is immense.  I
have a few succulent references and you might try one that contains a photo ID
section.  If you are on the right track you will have lots to choose from.
The diversity here is quite surprising.

Somebody write again, please, on hedychium hybrids ('Filigree').  Could you
have success by putting this plant outdoors in the summer.  It seems to be
very vigorous starting to grow now with longer days.  A friend tells me the
plants blooms late in the summer if put outdoors.  Mine has never bloomed.
