    We have a succulent that we've been wanting to identify for some time now, but my internet searches aren't yielding any conclusive results. Its most notable feature is that it produces hundreds of buds along serrated leaves which become new plants when they drop. Unlike Mother of Thousands, though, the buds are not flowered. It's not budding now, presumably because of the cold (no freezes yet, but even Texas gets chilly in November).

    Definitely looks like it's a Kalanchoe of some form; can't more specific than that sorry.

    Upon further investigation, I think it may actually be Kalanchoe daigremontiana. I didn't think so at first because I've never seen it flower.

    Yes, it is Kalanchoe daigremontiana, Mother of Thousands. The babies on the leaf edges are plantlets, not buds. :)
