    I just bought this plant, and didn't think about finding out the name until I got home, can someone please help me identify this plant. Thank you.

    That's a Kalanchoe; I forget which species.

    Edit - maybe K. pinnata (formerly Bryophyllum pinnatum)

    I have been searching the web, and I came across this website. I believe this is the same plant that I have, but I'm not really sure.

    http://public.fotki.com/cactus/succulents/kalanchoe/

    K. sexangularis

    I can't find any other information on this plant though, Does anyone know where I can find some info on this plant, i.e. care, propagation, and such.

    Basically, any info you find on any of the Kalanchoe family will be accurate for this guy.

    I have another plant that I don't know. Any idea?

    The little flower closes at night.

    I have that one too... give me a second because the nice folks here gave me an ID about 6 months back. I'll see if I can find it.

    I think we call that "pigface" in Oz. Not sure of the botanical name but it is a start.

    Tagalongs are bad.

    The first plant is Kalanchoe sexangularis. Its a true Kalanchoe not a Bryophyllum.

    There is more info on this website.

    Kalanchoe Pages


    The second is Aptenia 'Red Apple', a red flowered garden hybrid. Its grown as a ground cover in California.
