    Hi all. I have a few plant ID apps, which are inconclusive re this ID, which say possibly Flaming Katy, but the petals on my plant are more tightly bunched than the four petals shown on the apps. Any guidance would be welcome. Many thanks in advance. Chris

    Its probably a Kalanchoe of some type, I think there are probably a few different varieties that are sold as house plants.

      From the leaves I would say it's Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. I don't know it's common name.
      There are some hybrids with double flowers.

        Yes, the double one is K Calandiva which I would like.
