Kalanchoe lavender scallops

A staggering show from a neighbour's kalanchoe plants.

Native to South America. These are fleshy, herbaceous plants with upright or spreading stems growing 20 to 60 cm tall. The broad, paired leaves are bluish, greyish to lavender in colour, with pinkish margins. The drooping bell-shaped flowers are borne in dense clusters at the top of the branched stems. These flowers are usually reddish-orange and purplish in colour, 20 mm in length.

Now classified as a weed of coastal environs, urban bushland, open woodlands, riparian vegetation, roadsides, disturbed sites and waste areas here in Australia.
