Ronni One of my loves is gardening. I could be wrong but when I look at the picture of your plant it looks like a type of Begonia to me. I have one I alternate between screen porch when spring arrives to inside during cold months. It is about 15 years old and blooms. I also have a Jade plant and it has never bloomed. But I am not an expert.
Have a great day.

The flowers look like those on a begonia.

From the wikipedia:

Commonly known as jade plant, friendship tree or Money Plant, Crassula ovata is a succulent plant that sometimes has small pink or white flowers and is common as a houseplant worldwide. The Jade Plant is also sometimes incorrectly referred to as the money tree; however, the tree Pachira aquatica is the original "money tree."

There is also a picture.

I lived in Vermont for a while and a friend of mine there had a jade plant that flowered. It amazed me as well. I thought it flowered because it was tickled pink in its environment; that is, optimum conditions were present: right light, moisture, temperature, etc. and it was showing its gratitude. To be fanciful.

I've forgotton what that's called, but it isn't a jade plant. Jade plats do bloom....in clumps of little tiny white flowers. If you took a leaf of this to your favorite nursery, they could tell you what it is today.

Lovely kalanchoe, Ronni! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalanchoe

I have some very big and old jades. Only one of them ever blooms, about right now. They like to be cool and dry in the winter, and they certainly are in my unheated solarium. Here's a photo of it: http://www.marja-leena-rathje.info/archives/awaiting_spring.php

That's what it is, a Creeping Charlie. I've been wracking my brains beacuse all that would come in my mind was....something Charlie.

I vote begonia too ... I don't know very many plants but I have had a begonia and it looks like this one ... although YOURS looks much healthier!

Yes, it is a kalanchoe. Begonia leaves are not as thick and "juicy" as these.

Ronni, your beautiful plant definitely is a kalanchoe. They bloom in various colors--pink, red, orange, etc. A nursery lady told me to basically ignore them in winter (not too much water)and they'll bloom again the next year. Usually you can buy kalanchoes (pronounced kal-an-ko-ees)in small pots in fall at some discount stores. Yours is so pretty--enjoy. Hope it lives and blooms for you for many years.

My wife and I have a plant that we have been calling a jade for over 25 years. We keep it in a rather small pot so it has not grown larger than the one foot or so diameter that it presently is. Today, I went to water it and lo and behold there was a pink flower on it just like the ones in your picture. This is the first time ours has ever bloomed and we are delighted! Now, we need to be sure just what it is. Based on the new onformation found here, I believe we have a kalanchoe. I worked in a flower shop as a delivery driver for a few years and saw quite a few kalanchoes that had flowers exactly like this. In fact, I told my wife when we saw the flower that it looked like a kalanchoe flower. However, since the plant was given to my wife from her aunt through her mother (both deceased) and they called it a jade, she is resigned to calling it a jade. No matter what we each call it, it is beautiful just the same.

Definitely a Kalanchoe! This isn't a jade plant. I had one of these for years.

Hello! That's a flaming katy! My mother has one with an orange flower.

My husband bought me a kalanchoe plant for mother's day and it's still blooming, 6 months later. The flowers on mine are peach colored, very pretty. Yours is definitely the same plant. The leaves on this have a more rubbery feel than the jade plant, which I also have.

There's a trick to getting them to bloom.

First, it has to be an old plant - many years old - before I've been able to get them to bloom.

Second, they bloom in the fall/winter, in response to some very specific stimuli. I live in Colorado, and we have cold nights - even in summer. In the fall, I leave it out as long as I can - letting it adjust to really cold nights - before the risk is too big and I need to bring it in. I bring it in, set it my a sunny southern window, and the buds will begin to form within about a week or so.

I discovered this set of criteria all by accident over the years, and I suspect that unless you live someplace where you can expose the plant to cold nights at the right time of year, it might not work.

By the way, the link above is to my site where those photo's are - contact me through that web site if you want more pics or more info on how this works for me. Thanks to Mia for the post!

Thanks!

Thanks for posting this and for comments. I have this kind of plant and was struggling to find out what it is. Now I know I have a Kalanchoe :)
