Much to my surprise a late (early?)Cono (or perhaps I should have guessed from the subspecies name!)

It is almost autumn in the far southern hemisphere, though... I bet on it being very late!

You lost your bet Aiko. This is a spring flowerer in Europe, so it is not late or too early. I have one with 3 flowers on at the moment.

I love the colour of the inflorescense and buds in this kalanchoe, and the perfect harmony of different tones all over the plant. I also love the way the flowers open the same colour as bud, then slowly turn red.
