About our Chapter Logo

Dudleya stolonifera or Laguna Beach Live-forever is a tiny member of the Stonecrop Family. It is found in only five locations in the world, all of which are in the San Joaquin Hills, Orange County, in or near Laguna Beach. This is the only species of Dudleya known to be stoloniferous; other species branch only dichotomously unless the terminal bud is injured. It is also noted for its broad low calyx and the combination of erect petals and spreading predishiscent carpels. The state logo represents the Panamint Daisy, a rare and spectacular flower of the desert.
