I have planted a full row of Kalanchoe a flower with its red colour and lasting quality brings life to our garden. It is ideal as a bedding flower or border plantion. And that backed by this spotted yellow and green croton what more would I need to wake my garden that of late has been dozing.

@allknowing It's a couple of things. I think they look 'cheap' and they never have good symmetry. On the first point, they are often used in cafes and places like that where the staff think they need to have flowers but don't actually want to go to the expense of having 'proper' flowers so they pick something that needs very little care.

Spring is the time for you all to show off your efforts. But you do far better than me.

@crazyhorseladycx That could be the reason why I could have better flowers as most of them are in the ground.

I just learned that the name of those plants is Kalanchoe. I've been seeing them in the neighborhood.
