    Hi,

    This is my first post and I hope someone can tell me what this plant is that I saw in Namibia. You can see that as well as the lovely red buds it also has fleshy leaves with a red edging

    Something of Crassulaceae, Cotyledon may be.

    Thank you very much for your response. I think you are right and I'm not 100% sure but thanks to you I think I've now narrowed it down to Cotyledon macrantha.

    Cotyledon orbiculata. C. macrantha is one of it many synonyms.
