Nice Paul - Where in Long Beach are you? I live off of 2nd in Naples/B.Shore. Maybe set up a trade or something in the future--

Ity does look like a Senecio, you'll know for sure when the flower opens as it will be kind of like a peeled back daisy, as its in that family(Asteraceae)

I believe they may be smelly too!

After a spelling lesson from Larry, I was able to do a Google search. I'm calling it Senecio anteuphorbium.

it also looks a lot like a Notonia...

i would be more inclined to call it that.

Ooo, very nice! Does it have a fragrance?

No scent. I'm sticking with Senecio anteuphorbium, as these sites seem to confirm:
