Yale I only have one in flower at this time K. 'confetti' I consider it a weed. I am able to grow them outside in open run. Mine generally flower after January. This past year we have had very unusual weather. Almost upside down, we don't know when to water, they are growing at unusual times, so the experienced grower knows to keep an eye on them and make a judgement, and I tell the beginner if in doubt don't, you can't follow the general rules of growing any species, we are getting 2 days of sun and one day of rain. I've turned off my automatic sprinklers. We are getting more humidity then are used to. One of our most experienced growers in my group told me he is scratching his head. Norma

No, Yale, the two Kalanchoes I have (K. orgyalis and the nude form of K. beharensis) don't show any sign of flowering, but they're cuttings and aren't ready yet, if ever. I imagine I'd have kittens if the K. orgyalis threw out a flower spike here.

K. 'confetti' is unknown to me, so would appreciate a description or better, a photo. A Kalanchoe in flower now is really interesting . Thanks. Yale

my K. blossfeldiana is flowering right now and has been doing it since january but its at an end in a week they'll be gone, but on the bright side i wont have to w8 more than 2 months for it to start again :)

The Kalanchoe blooming season is underway. K. spathulata, K. prittwitzii, K. marnieriana, and K. lobata are in flower, with others on the way. Yale

Yale,

You have a bunch of them that were never in my collection of Ks, starting with your linked one. I look forward to seeing pictures of the other four in flower (and in leaf, too, since I'm already being presumptuous). Thanks for the latest installment.

The photo is of Kalanchoe 'Magic Bells' which is close to K. pinnata, but even easier to grow. The flower is about 2 inches long and the petiole 1/2 inch in length. K. mortagei is also in bloom with similar, somewhat smaller flowers but with green petals. Yale

Yes, Yale, that's really nice. I guess those geneticists/botanists don't believe in Bryophyllum, eh?

What does K. mortagei look like, please?

This is an old photo of K. mortagei, and its colors are more intense than usual. It is one of a small group of 'walking' Kalanchoe; the leaf tip bears a few plantlets, the long leaves bend downward and plantlets root into the ground (other walking plants include winter onions, some iris, etc.).

Descoings has published a series of papers explaining why Kalanchoe is best for this group. Until someone claims he is wrong, I just follow him. Yale

Yale,

That's a pretty flower.

I looked up the plant. Do you know if M. Descoings's papers are publicly available? I'm just curious how this interpretation came to be.

I know he's a botanist, but as an amateur grower I feel differently. However, I wouldn't bet the farm on me.

I Google-imaged K. mortagei, and it's another Bryophyllumish Kalanchoe IMHO. Flowers are, however, closer to my untrained eye to something like Kalanchoe orgyalis/beharensis, at least in terms of growth posture and shape (but not colour, of course).
