📚 Flapjack: not just another Kalanchoe
🌸 ‘Flapjack’ is not simply another Kalanchoe luciae — it is a selected form with a strikingly flat rosette and vivid colour.
🎨 The leaf edges develop a stronger pink or red tone than common luciae or thyrsiflora forms.
🧬 It is a morphologically stable plant, with a symmetrical shape that makes it ideal for decorative use.
⚠️ Many nurseries use the name ‘Flapjack’ for common forms — but the difference is visible: the authentic look is a little work of art.
