Flaming Katy (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), also known as Madagascar's widow's-thrill. Native to Madagascar, the Flaming Katy is one of 124 species of Kalanchoe, a popular ornamental houseplant. There are several varieties of K. blossfeldiana, which are particularly popular because of their deep pink, red, or orange flowers. Succulent plants, kalanchoes are native to arid and rocky regions.

Thick, fleshy plant that stores water in its tissues; for example, cacti and stonecrops Sedum. Succulents live either in areas where water is very scarce, such as deserts, or in places where it is not easily obtainable because of the high concentrations of salts in the soil, as in salt marshes. Many desert plants are xerophytes.
