    [size=small]Hello Sven. I believe I have all three of these myself.[/size]

    [size=small]I'm not 100% sure but the top left is possibly an Aeonium arboreum (are the leaves succulent?).[/size]

    [size=small]The bottom left is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.[/size]

    [size=small]The bottom right is Kalanchoe thrysiflora 'Red Lips'.[/size]

    I tend to agree with Victoria on bottom left and bottom right.

    Top left I think is a euphorbia, possibly milii.

    Sven, I agree with Pete about top left.
    Euphorbia milii has very thorny stems.

    Hi Sven,
    The Kalanchoe I think is "Leaf of Life".. a true Jamaican plant.....
    [​IMG]

    The other is one with fleshy leaves is of the Crassula family I think.... You will need to google but I think money plant.... There are hundreds of Creassulas so have a Google Crasselae family.. Hundreds of them...
    [​IMG]

    The last one I agree, is one of the many Caldiums.. Again hundreds of them so have a google again... Have fun..:thumbsup:
    [​IMG]

    Hope that helps... I have seen them all growing i gardens in Jamaica though.... :WINK1::thumbsup:

    :heehee: Oh Sven...... What are we going to do with you...!!!!!

    I have leaf of life plants (Kalanchoe pinnata - Bryophyllium pinnatum) growing in my greenhouse here from a leaf I was given at Peter Tosh's Mausoleum quite a few years ago now...

    I also have Medina (Alysicarpus vaginalis) growing as well...

    :WINK1: Now I do know Jamaican men drink an infusion of both leaves sweetened for manliness... :WINK1::heehee:
