This is a very commonly grown species in southern California... however the 'normal' green form is not very commonly grown, presumably because it is far less interesting than the yellow, variegated form... but it could be the variegated form is indeed the 'wild form' and these green plants are something else entirely. I think that is not likely due to the fact some variegated forms show signs of reversion (see the shot of my own plant below).
