Description
This is a 21st Century Photograph of a blooming Kalanchoe. These plants are cultivated as ornamental houseplants and rock or succulent garden plants mainly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. They are popular because of their ease of propagation, low water requirements, and wide variety of flower colors typically borne in clusters. These are growing outdoors in Houston, Texas.
Most are shrubs or perennial herbaceous plants, but a few are annual or biennial. The largest, Kalanchoe beharensis from Madagascar, can reach 6 m (20 ft) tall, but most species are less than 1 m (3 ft) tall.
Kalanchoes are characterized by opening their flowers by growing new cells on the inner surface of the petals to force them outwards, and on the outside of the petals to close them. Kalanchoe flowers are divided into 4 sections with 8 stamens. The petals are fused into a tube, in a similar way to some related genera such as Cotyledon.
Photograph made with a NIkon D810 and a Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8 macro lens.
