Question
Dear Greg,

Could you help me identify 2 succulents?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/plantules/632030069 I know it's a kalanchoe, but could not find which one...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/plantules/1089814137 No clue whatsoever!

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

Etienne

- If you see in the website www.flickr.com/plantules any plant you like and you wish I send you a cutting, please let me know!


Answer
Etienne,

The closest I could find is Kalanchoe longiflora or possibly Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. The second plant has me stumped as well. Are the leaves solid or "V" shaped? Has it ever flowered and what do the flowers look like? Knowing what the flowers look like is huge when it comes to identification. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Sincerely,

Greg

PS - You have a great collection!!
