A: I thought it belonged to the kalanchoe family so I set a Master Gardener to the task of finding the exact plant. The name of the plant turned out to be Donkey Ears, Bryophyllum gastonis-bonnieri. This plant can be grown outdoors in south Florida (zone 11) but will die once our temperatures go below 40 degrees F, therefore we should grow them only in pots. It can tolerate a wide range of light conditions from full sun to light shade. It is drought tolerant and once it blooms it becomes an attractant for bees and butterflies.
