I received a plantlet from a grower IDed as Kalanchoe Gastonis-bonnieri., (Donkey ear). I was told it would form a roseate approximately 1.5 to 2 ft tall and would bloom after just a couple years. I have had this plant since 2004 and this year, it bloomed for the first time. The leaf size and markings look correct as do the blooms, but the plant is about 4 ft tall and now, since blooming is putting out new leaves at the base of each old leaf. I was told the mother plant would die after blooming, but this one doesn't seem to know that. Can anyone help me figure out who this plant is?
this is the plant in September
