Another help would be to identify where you are living in this world. You don't give this information.

My first thought when looking at the plant is that it is a common weed in my area called Lamb's Ear. Just did a search and see the Genus is Stachys. Then my next thought was, But does it grow by him?

I agree with your response. In addition to your request for this individual, I'd like to point out the following:
This person has not taken the time to inform us of his/her location.
The 2nd image is pointless,
I'm not even sure it is a leaf succulent. It resembles a composite weed with a felt like coat.

In the Upper Plains/Midwest I was taught that this was something similar--skunk weed.

Never heard of Skunk weed, but plenty of Skunk Cabbage. It will be blooming really soon. One of the really early plants.

Yep, skunk cabbage, too. Early, and great stalks of yellow flowers. Except, we have a three-foot snow pack in many places, and mounds six to eight feet high where plowed. Bloom time isn't until June or so.

There are two different plants called Skunk Cabbage, the Eastern Skunk Cabbage is Symplocarpus foetidus, while the Western Skunk Cabbage is Lysichiton americanus. Both are members of the Arum family, with similar growth habit and smell, but the Eastern type has shorter flowers with a reddish-brown spathe (the hood-like part) which encloses the greenish-yellow spadix (the club-like structure that bears both male and female flowers) with just a small opening to admit pollinators (beetles attracted by the stench). The Western type has a yellow spathe and spadix, and the elongated spadix projects above the wide-open spathe - a much showier flower. Both like marshy sites.
