    I saw this handsome potentially Kalanchoe Beharensis grown as balcony plants and in a botanical garden in Spain. Can anyone give a proper id please?

    It's about 2m tall, the leaves are dinner plate size, gray and spade or wide arrow head shaped with undulating edges. I don't have a close up photo unfortunately (my sister told me I'm not allowed to tramp raised beds or climb balconies) :noidea:

    It's a very nice plant so I'd be interested in growing it as a houseplant. A good id would help with the seed hunt.

    Thanks! :)

            Thanks everybody!
            Yes definitely no lumps, and the leaves have short, soft looking fuzz as far as I was able to see. Not furry at all. No red tinge to the edges and not very deeply lobed or thick.

            I think it could possibly be a beharensis but there seems to be so many species that I'm just not sure. :scratch:

            If only I had been able to get close enough to pinch a cutting observe the details...

            The plant looks quite like the one in this video- the size and the habit look the same.
