You know,this is the best I ever got one of them to look. Much better then in ground where they snake around bigger C&S. Couldn't you see these in a barrel with a couple of dozen? I quick went out and snapped today.

I always have a clump of these somewhere and am surprised every year how nice they look in flower. They do snake around a while before strong upright growth sets in. I wonder if that's the nature of the species or a question of finding the right exposure & soil etc

There are MUCH worse greenhouse weedy succulents. Euphorbia leuconeura for one.
