Kalanchoe daigremontiana
This plant is distinguished by its ability to propagate via vegetative propagation. All parts of the plant are poisonous, which can even be fatal if ingested by infants or small pets. Flowering is not an annual event and will occur sporadically if at all. Particularly in climates with distinct seasonal temperature differences, flowering is most frequently observed at the beginning of a warm season.

Hi Laura. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question. I did not discuss the plants with any staff of the lodge and I can't locate the name of the lodge easily or soon so that you can contact them. Apologies for that. If I do come across the name of the lodge, I will contact you.
Hi! My name is Laura, and I am a researcher at the Institute of Botany, Spain. We are studying the hybrid Kalanchoe houghtonii, hybrid between K. daigremotiana and K. tubiflora.
You specify in the description that the habitat is a garden of a safari lodge, so it would be very useful to know if whether the observed individuals (that are not Kalanchoe daigremontiana but K. tubiflora) from your picture are cultivated or, on the contrary, survive by its own (that is, escaped from cultivation) in the said garden.
Thank you very much in advance!
Maria dB, I loved my Mother of Thousandsplant when I was in California but it looked like yours, snake kind of leaves, in the internet they mostly show it as the flat leaf!? is it the same one? and is it also poisonous?
