Poaceae are grasses. This is more likely a Stapelia.

Taeniatherum is a grass http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Taeniatherum&sa=N&tab=wi I think we might have a wrong ID here.

I love the planter. What a great display!

You are all correct. This is definately not a grass. We are trying to find a place for it. I only know the succulent as MedusaHead

I can't tell from the photo, but that looks more like a cactus than 'Medusa-head', or at least what I'm used to calling Medusa-head (Euphorbia caput-medusae). There are several Euphorbias that are similarly called Medusa-head, but this isn't one of them in the photo.
