Eliza Waters 
Bright and cheerful to go with my coffee!
Glad to brighten your morning, Judy!
This is a mighty fancy Kalanchoe. I almost never seen anything but grocery-store pinks and reds. I should get out more!
It is a very large genus from fuzzy to smooth. This one is like a little fuzzy bear. 🙂 The big box stores here often carry a selection of young starts like this one. They are easily propagated from a single leaf stuck in sand and often dropped leaves will root on their own.
Very cool shot! Its flower is the same as my so-called Holiday cactus which is once again in bloom.
Thank you, Eunice. Would love to see yours in a post! 🙂
Mine is definitely confused. 🙂
That is exceptionally pretty…so many buds…very happy to be cared by you!
Thank you, Alice. Not mine, though I have one like it. Taken at the Smith greenhouse last week. 🙂
What a stunner!
Thank you, Allison… I was quite struck by its beauty!
Ooo…luscious, little wax candies!
Yes, I liked the furry little sepals, too. 🙂
This is beautiful: the shapes as well as the colour cobinations.
Thank you, Anne. It really called out to me.
I so love the colors, the orange and the green. Striking!
Thank you, Laurie. It definitely stopped me in my tracks!
That is a pretty one and a great overhead view. The variety in Kalanchoes amazing.
Thanks, Amy. It is surprising how big a genus it is.
I also thought this one looked different from the ones I usually see. A great winter bloomer.
Yes, it is. I have one in my sunspace though it has never bloomed like this one I saw.
The red-orange certainly jumps out at you.
It sure does… I did a double-take then grabbed my camera for this shot.
Isn’t it customary to grab a camera before doing a take, much less a double-take?
Hehe…
What is that, it’s beautiful! ❤️☺️
Cheerful! 🤗🥰
Thank you, Susan. That orange grabbed my attention!
I used to have kalanchoe; it grew outdoors when I lived in Texas. Such a pretty plant — and so easy to grow.
They are esp. beautiful in bloom. They are a tough plant!
Wow! That is gorgeous. I’ve never seen this.
Thanks, Dale. Our local college greenhouse has a nice succulent collection. Always a fun place to visit (esp. in winter)!
I bet! I think I would visit now and again, too. 🙂
I’ve been going there for 50 years– whew! The first time I went there it was a slushy, yucky winter’s day. As soon as I entered that warm, humid tropical place, I heard the chorus of heavenly angels (!) and knew that plants were going to be my life. Never one ounce of regret. 🙂
Ooooh. That is so very cool, Eliza! I love that.
Thanks, Dale. Definitely an epiphany!
I don’t doubt.
How beautiful! It’s so different from the ones I’ve either seen or sold in flower shops and grocery stores before. I have a yellow one on the windowsill here at home. It bloomed its little heart out for a long time, a small mass of yellow, and now sits like retired me now. 💛💕✨
Thank you, Shelley. Lots of variation in this genus (125 species)!
This is beautiful and looks different from mine. 😊
Thanks, Pepper, it is a very large genus with lots of variation (125 species)!
Wow, that’s a lot of variations. All beautiful, I am sure. 😊
That is gorgeous. At first I thought it was a jade plant. Last month, I saw a big jade tree in bloom in a greenhouse. I had not known they did that….
Thank you, Lisa. Both are succulents, so you weren’t far off. 🙂
It’s a beauty!
Thanks, Kris. I loved the orange/green contrast, so pretty!
What a beauty! 😃
Thank you, Cathy! 🙂
Another great picture with lovely colours. I like how you’ve got a great depth of field so we can see the buds with a nicely blurred background. It sounds easy, but it isn’t at that distance.
Thank you, Susan. 🙂
What a beautiful Kalanchoe (and lovely photo also).
I think you’ve just given me the answer to one of my unidentified flower images from the Royal Botanic Gardens here in Melbourne. I’m now going to re-Google my query with ‘Kalanchoe’ in the search. I never would have thought your image was of the Kalanchoe family.
Thank you, Vicki. I love going to this college greenhouse, everything is labeled and well cared for. I’ve been going there for 50 years! 😲
Beautiful 🧡
Thank you, Karen. x
So pretty! Great shot!
Thank you, Harshi!
I instantly said WOW! What details and the colors are so vibrant!
Thank you, Donna. I felt the same way when I first saw it!
Beautiful! 🙂
Thank you!
For years I mistook our Sedums for Kalanchoes. These are beauties.
Thanks, Steve!
Now that is dreamy 💓
Thanks, Val. It’s a cutie!
They look so fuzzy! Orange and green is an unusual, striking combination.
Thank you, Barbara, it really is!
A very attractive little plant!
Isn’t it just the cutest thing? All in a 3″ pot!
Such a pretty plant. I like the orange-green combo, and the pinkish tinge along the leaves adds a lovely little touch.
Thank you, Tanja. I was quite taken by it!
It’s easy to see why!
I like the plant and the photo’s angle and color story. I used to get these in NJ at a place called Produce Junction … cheap flowers, plants and bulk produce. Do you have them where you live? I miss that place.
Thank you, Denise. Must be a local NJ chain. I sometimes check out Home Depot to ‘rescue’ a plant or two. They don’t last long there as they are sadly neglected.
