Those are really lovely Philippe, I didn’t even appreciate they flowered in winter. I am afraid mine get ignored in winter so I assume that I should be watering them now and providing some warmth.

Thank you for posting the pictures, I am seeing Kalanchoe in a whole new light, I too had not considered them as anything other than a foliage plant.
Regards Keith.

What a beautiful selection of flowers. I can see a kalanchoe or 2 getting added to the greenhouse.

This is the best I can manage. It has come indoors for a special watering regime & TLC. One of the first type of succulents I owned as a youngster. Correct name then Mexican hat plant! I am sure that was the correct botanical name at the time. We should have known better,Keith. I always thought it was just foliage.
