Kalanchoe daigremontiana
Photo take at my garden this is a succulent plant able to propagate vegetatively ,reach up to 1 m tall with opposite, fleshy oblong-lanceolate "leaves" that reach 15-20 cm long and about 3.2 cm wide. These are medium green above and blotched with purple underneath. The margins of these leaf-like organs have spoon-shaped bulbiliferous spurs that bear young plants. It can survive prolonged periods of drought with little or no water.
Native of the southwest Madagascar It has been introduced to numerous tropical and subtropical regions. Favorite as an ornamental plant.
All parts of the plant are poisonous, which can even be fatal if ingested by infants or small pets.
