Plants in the neighborhood 09-25-21

When my neighbor planted this it was already quite large.  I asked him about it and he said a friend was redoing his yard and wanted to get rid of it.  It is a gorgeous specimen and has adapted well to the location. 

 It is about two feet wide now. 

And almost as tall.  

When the "petals" first come out they are fringed, but as they expand they develop a more scalloped edge.  I wonder if it will bloom some day.

Del, I love this plant! I have a small succulent that reminds me of this, and I have trouble imagining this 2 ft tall and wide. My little plant is in a 3" tall pot and just covers the top--no spines, just smooth fat petals.
