What kind of Plant...

At work today a resident gave me this plant. Does anyone know what it is so I can figure out what kind of special care it needs???

(Pictures taken on camera phone...sorry for bad quality!)

Very tiny, but it looks like African Violet.
Are the leaves kinda velvety?

Yeah, I know the pics are tiny, I couldnt make them larger for some reason. The leaves ARE kind of velvety, but I looked up African Violets on the net and they look a little different. Hmmm...

Possibly Kalanchoe?

There are many 'breeds' of African Violet, these are a show type like Roses or Orchids and have been selectively propogated for a very long time.

Without larger pics, I'm afraid it's going to be extremely hard to get a positive ID.

Arlyn, I think you may be right about the african violet thing, it looks a lot like the ones I've seen pics of, just a few small differences. I am sure, like you mentioned, that there are many 'breeds', this is probably just one variation. Thanks for your help!!!

I love to grow streptocarpus.

Perhaps it is one of these plants? The leaves are kinda furry and the flowers usually appear on long stems.

Ok, i have taken some photos of my plants so that you can compare.







Anything like yours?

Are the leaves succulent-like without a bigger pix its so hard to guess. are the edges of the leaves scalloped??? Look up calandiva or send me a bigger picture!!

Nope Vamp, they look a bit different. But the huge bunch of blossoms all are on one big long stem!

Gail--The leaves are scalloped. It looks like pictures of african violet except for the scalloped leaves on this one. I am not home, so unfortunately can't try my hand at a larger pic right now.

Do a google search for calandiva I bet this is the plant!!

Is it a gloxinia? They have velvety leaves.
