    Hello!

    I am trying to identify the plant in the attached photographs
    (top and side views) Sorry for the rather poor image quality. I know that this plant is some type of succulent. It will grow to have long slender leaves with seeds along the edges. The plant in the photograph had seeds along it's edges (I removed them) and was started from seeds obtained from a plant in the southern part of Italy. That plant had leaves that were about 10" long. I don't know if this plant produces a flower but I did not see any flowering plants of this type in Italy when I was there in September.

    Thanks for the help.

    Kalanchoe. Maybe K. daigremontana (Mother of Thousands)?

    Lorax, thanks for the guidance. Looking around online, I am coming across some images of K. daigremontana that resemble my plants. (I started 3 of them) My plants look like they are growing to resemble that in the following link although I remember the plant I took the seeds from to be flatter and broader with longer leaves. Perhaps I'm just being forgetful in my old age!

    It does seem to be a popular plant if that is what you mean
