    A co-worker brought me a couple of pieces of succulents from South Texas (along the gulf coast). This one has really been growing! So much so, I needed to give it it's own home.
    Any idea of it's name?

    Sort of reminds me of a Kalanchoe.

    It reminds me of 'alligator tongue', but a giant version of it. Alligator tongues get babies in the notches on the leaves. Whatever it is, it is very nice looking.

    It's probably Donkey Ears or Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri.

    Anyone want to check and see if they can get closer?

    Barb.... I think you've nailed it.
    But looking at photos online, I don't think it'll be very happy with it's new little home. I'll have to pass this info along to my co-worker to see if she can verify that it really is a "donkey-ear". Which by the way, just makes me laugh. :stew2:

    The online photos show that it gets rather large. That basket isn't very big. I guess I'll just have to up-pot it if/when it outgrows this.
