Any ideas as to the name of this plant? It grows well in warm environments, I had some plants in Tenerife outside, survived long dry periods and heavy rains, just like a weed! Brought seedlings back to UK and have grown many plants (will grow in every soil type outside during the summer). The plant has rapid growth and produces dozens of baby plants at the edge of each leaf. These drop and grow. This is the first of many plants which has flowered.
Now, I reckon it's within the Aloe group. What do you think.

Must be a Kalanchoe surely?

Re: Here's a challenge...
I used to have one of these! I think they came from a butterfly farm in Norfolk, where I "liberated" a couple of babies which accidentally fell from the parent's leaves. 
They are weedlike. You end up with so many, they drive you nuts. I think they all died when I was at uni. This means don't let them get too dry.
Mine never flowered though.
To answer the question, I have no idea what they are.. but I can easlit imagine them being seen as weeds in their habitat.

Re: Here's a challenge... Solved
Thank you all for the replies. I've checked out kalanchoe/bryophyllum diagremontianum and YES! That's it! The common name is aptly 'Mother of Thousands'. I wish other succulents multipied this quickly! Still, they form a good ground cover nicely and fill in any gaps. Trouble I've had is they can prevent growth of other plants. My late mum had one in her greenhouse over two foot tall!
Thanks, Steve
