Wow! It looks amazing.

That is amazing. I looked it up, and since it is a native to Madagascar, it is impressive you got it to bloom.

Thanks all!

Wylie - the photo may be misleading as it is in the conservatory! What is amazing is that it was in the greenhouse until December when it suffered rot at the base of the plant. So I cut it off, dried the cut, planted what was left up then bought it indoors. Yet despite the sudden rise in temperature (they usually need a drop in temps to initiate blooming) it still decide to bloom.

It looks great! So many Kanchoe species are blooming here, also.

This species is probably invasive in San Diego though?

There's a lot of Kalanchoe species which grow wild here.

There's a large one which is flowering now which grows to about 5' (2.5 m) tall. It only grows and flowers during winter. (I can't remember the name). It dies down to the ground most of the year.

The common name of this one is Mother of Thousands!

Yes, I know this one. I used to have one. :>))

I know why it's called this,also. Because the leaves produce hundreds of little plantlets.

I can't remember the name of the Kalanchoe species which is growing and flowering right now. Maybe you can id it for me? I just posted a photo. Thanks! :>))
