In our branch newsletters, I mentioned that my plant of Kalanchoe tuberosa flowered at the start of the year. Here is a close up of the orange flowers. It took about 2 years for the plants to grow from cuttings to reach flowering size. The flowers lasted 2-3 weeks and there was a second flush of flowers about 2 months later. |
