| Can you pls. provide a closer up shot? Too distant (& small) for me to tell, maybe someone else will do better. |

| LGT, Thanks, much, much better pix, unfortunately, it's nothing I recognize. Only GUESS I have to offer is some kind of Episcia? |

| It kind of looks like a peperomia of some sort- just a guess- Here's a site that has a bunch of different types- maybe it'll help. |

| Sorry- I didn't realize it posted twice. The first time it said I couldn't post because I had already used that name for a different post. So I changed the name and tried again. Guess it worked a little too well! Have you gotten any clue yet what you have there? Hope you find out:o) |

hi........thanks for your help! its narrowed down to kalanchoe, peperomia, or Episcia. I have a peperomia- cant remember the kind without going to look -and its nothing like the unknown plant. I keep looking for something that has those types of stems that grow down and curl around or up they go both ways.

| I'm sure it's not a Kalanchoe, wouldn't ever have thought it might be, may I ask pls. you thought it could be? |
RE: need id
| | |
sorry thought that was in my original post. some of the branches had broken off in transit and they have rooted wonderfully in water. the paper it was wrapped in said kalanchoe on it. when i finished unwrapping everything and planting it this plant is the only one i didnt have a label for. and the only plant name not on a label was kalanchoe.
but i wasnt sure so i posted here.
thanks

| sometimes things we get in a trade are labeled wrong. i cannot find a picture of this as a named plant yet. |
Wondering About ID
| | |
| Well then, let me back pedal a bit; likely not a Kalanchoe, but not impossible, as there are very many varieties of it. Are the leaves at all thick to the touch? Something abt that scraggly lookin' stem makes me wonder. (I've been wrong before, LOL.) Desert-tropicals.com is a location where you could look at a lot of different Kalanchoe pix, (under Succulents, within that, under "K"). |

| ty for the link! im going to look there for a bit now! |

| Looks like a jade plant to me. |
RE: need id

| Am looking at this again & think it's a Plectranthus aka, Swedish Ivy, aka Creeping Charlie. Was common everywhere when I was in college (the 70s). Takes pinching back every 2-3 prs. of leaves to keep it full & bushy. In that earlier pic, that long curly stem w/ leaves on the very tip, I'd cut that off at the soil line as it will not leaf out. Then I'd cut that leaf growth off the tip w/ an inch or 2 of stem w/ it & try to water root it. Pls. do some image searches for Plectrantus & see if the pix don't match yr. plant. |

| Don't understand the confusion here. This plant is the common flowering kalanchoe,(Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) the scalloped leaves and the form of the stems identify it as such. It is not the best specimen, but it is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana nonetheless. Christopher |
