I've had this plant from the Kalanchoe family growing for years, and can remember bringing home the original in a small nursery pot. It endures the summer heat, and the plus is having the lovely deep contrast coloured edges to the leaves. At certain times of day when the sun shines into them there are such striking hues.
It's a fabulous plant to share, just by slicing off a leaf deep at its base, and that to be re-planted upright. Eventually it will sprout all around it, new leaves.

I have never heard of a Flapjack plant. It's really striking with it's red-tipped leaves!
That is a lovely plant, the color of the margins brought darker by the intense sunlight. However, i think it gets invasive in a little while, just like the Kalanchoe tabernaemontana!
Very nice Carole, lovely photos of this very pretty plant. I also like your turtle and the planter on the pedestal.
What a beautiful succulent, Carole! Do you have severe winters?....the succulents I like (small ones) don't do well in winter. (So glad you have a secondary blog, too...beautiful like the first one.)
Beautiful plant! Looks like a succulent.
i bet those are easy to take care of, i hope. they such have character. ( :
Hi Carole, just loving your Flapjacks, they're gorgeous and so healthy. Having left a garden behind when we recently moved location, a small pot of Flapjacks was included in my "got to keep" collection of succulents. I was drawn by their beautiful big leaves and colours. I do appreciate your hint of removing the grey stalk to promote leaf growth. Thankyou :D)
These are the biggest I have ever seen Carole! They certainly are beautiful - I can see why you like them....cut me a piece please (LOL)!
Hugs,
Jan
Evelyn - not what you'd call severe winters at all. Barely a frost sums it up.
The colors are wonderful and look so beautiful at the base of that lovely urn.
Stunning! The Klanchoe here come in small pots.
The Flapjack plant is so cool looking. Such pretty colors. I would enjoy having one of these in my garden. Your turtle is neat too.
Nice how easy succulents are to strike. A very pretty plant indeed.
The Flapjack is a plant, I thought it was something you eat, ha ha.
Awww... love Turtle and Flapjack. There is something wonderful about having plant (and turtle) friends... Thank you for linking in.. Michelle from Nature Notes...
