Actually, Debra, it's 'Dorstenia gigas' which is pretty rare and found in nature on an island in the Indian Ocean. I think this one is a mother plant that they (Tropiflora) take starts from, to sell. It's 'way too big and heavy to move! It looks pretty similar to the Desert Rose, but no thorns, and the leaves are hairy, and a darker green.

They did have some good size Desert roses, too, but nothing like as big as the one at Selby that I posted a while back.
