Macro Flowers:Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, flat succulent

Last September, I posted photos of Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, which I was very proud of. Unfortunately, the plant has grown tall and not as beautiful as before. It has lost much of its red color. However, she has made me a grandmother with two babies.

May be it is due to the very wet and cold weather we have been having.

The 3 photos below were from last year's post.

I am the proud owner of this unusual succulent. It has red edges and is bigger than the size of my palm. It has fleshy, paddle-like leaves that resemble the shape of a clamshell as though I am closing my palms together.

Sorry I can't tell you the name, Do you know? I googled the images, but can't see any like this, It might be a flapjack but it is definitely not a rosette.

That is Kalanchoe thyrsiflora - I have it on my wish list for sure. What a great plant in mixed planters with Echeveria and other succulents.
