On the way to the supermarket

This house is across the street from the Lidl supermarket and probably if I told you that I passed by, you most likely wouldn't believe me. Well, in any case, those who know me.

And rightly so!
And don't smile! Since I'm such a "crazy" person, not the only one on this platform, thank God there is company ๐Ÿ˜‚

Kalanchoe thyrsiflora or Kalanchoe luciae?

This is Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi variegata mediopicta?

Maybe while I was "brazenly" photographing the flowers, the owner of the house noticed me from inside the house, because she came out and approached me.
I immediately greeted her and complimented her on her beautiful flowers.
And without even introducing ourselves to each other, we began to chat animatedly, as if we had known each other for a long time!
This is what flowers do to people ๐Ÿ˜

In the end, I left with cuttings ๐Ÿคช

and with these.
And I will give her a baby Aloe with two-colored leaves.
@nikv please tell me, is it better to leave it in water or can I plant it. In the photo above, it is on the right.

I'll digress a little.
While photographing my cuttings, I noticed that the palm trees also got into the lens.
And I want to tell you with great pleasure that I saved these palm trees several years ago!
Briefly about this.
There were 3 of them growing in the yard. And one day, going down to the yard, I saw that the excavator had already dug up one with roots ๐Ÿ˜ฑ and they were going to dig up the rest to sell them to the owner of the hotel. This was the decision of the person responsible for our multi-story building.
But I didnโ€™t let them!!!
I wonโ€™t write about what I told them and how I threatened them.
So they sold only one, and I admire these two every day!

Let these beauties grow and bloom for many, many more years! ๐Ÿ’•

And I took this photo on another day and in another yard.

I think you can plan it right away :)

@ewkaw Thank you so much!
Do you have this?

0E-8 CASHMAP

Yes, or something very similar. It is about to bloom.
I got cuttings last summer and planted it directly in soil.

0E-8 CASHMAP

Super plants!
I never put it either in water or plant directly but leave in a warm but shady place to make roots and the ends to heal. It's still winter for you though? I don't know if it's warmer or colder now on Cyprus. If it's cooler, leave it in the house.
The difference between the 2 Kalanchoe is in the flowers - I can't see your picture clearly but this will show the difference https://www.smgrowers.com/info/kalanchoeluciae.asp
Yes, your cuttings are kalanchoe fedtschenkoi
๐ŸŒต๐ŸŒต๐ŸŒต๐ŸŒต

Thank you very much! The tips are almost healed.
Yes, it's still winter here, at night +16C, during the day above +20C ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you very much for the link, I looked and compared - this is Kalanchoe luciae

0E-8 CASHMAP

That sounds warm enough for it to start making roots although leaving it inside will make that process faster
