Paddle plant

Native to Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland.

A Kalanchoe with unique appearance - upright clumps of leaves that look like some kind of undersea shell, paddles, or a stack of pancakes.

In time, these plants can form a large cluster of the rosettes, and eventually a tall flower stalk will emerge from the centre of one or more of them.

The stalks can grow to a height of nearly 2 m and the yellow flowers are held in clusters atop the stalk.
