Bryophyllum houghtonii, Hybrid Mother-of-Millions

Jack is finally airborne!
After yesterday’s flight cancellation, I was relieved when today’s flight took off without a hitch ➡ ETA 3pm at Orlando Airport. 🙂

Because I may not post too often while he’s here, I thought I’d show you the Ranchero’s latest blooming Kalanchoe (or Bryophyllum, if you prefer) the hybrid K. houghtonii:

Here’s a view of the entire plant, which oddly grew parallel to the ground for 3 feet before infloresceing skyward:

Bryophyllum houghtonii is a hybrid form of B. daigremontianum x B. delagoense. There is much disinformation online–with erroneously labeled photos–of these 3 nearly identical plants. The best way of differentiating them is by closely observing the leaves: variegated boat-shaped leaves are indicative of the houghtonii hybrid:

As the buds mature, they deepen from whitish-pink (as seen in the next pic) to either coral or red, depending on sun exposure.

And now we’re off to the airport! 🙂

Until next time…..
