After my beloved mamaw's funeral, my parents gave me several of the large sympathy arrangements and baskets of blooming plants. Nothing was labeled, besides 'blooming plants' on a tag under the basket, and there were several small pots in the basket with blooms.
I recognized the peace Lilies, cyclamen, and a palm but don't recognize two of the others. One has tiny bunches of pink flowers and really thick rubbery green leaves that almost feel like sedum leaves, like frog belly sedum. The other has small white/cream flowers with petals that sparkle in the light, it also has green, kind of thick leaves. I was just wondering if anyone could give me a name for them, so I can give them proper care. Thanks in advance! I did look on the florist's website to no avail.

Hi, the white flowering plant looks like an African violet, not sure on the other one.
I'm pretty sure the pink one is a gloxinia. There are many different types, some with larger blooms, some with double and some with single blooms.
I don't think it can be a Gloxinia because the leaves of a Gloxinia are hairy and not thick and shiny and their flowers are very large and cup shaped. The pink flowers on the picture are not more than 3 or 4 milimiters.
They are both African violets. The leaf of the pink one does not look like a gloxinia.
I don't think the pink flowering plant is either an African Violet or a Gloxinia. I believe it is a Kalanchoe. Please google this and let us know. I never saw an African violet with 'thick rubbery leaves'.
This might help

When Denise writes " 'thick rubbery leaves " she writes about the pink flower plant. About the white flower plant she writes ''kind of thick leaves''. Kalanchoe leaves are waxy when African violet leaves are hairy.
Yes, Catherine, you are right. Someone else said the pink flower was an African Violet after reading Denise's description of it's thick, rubbery leaves. That's why I said what I did. I still say the pink flower is a Kalanchoe and wish Denise would get back to confirm whether it is or not.
The pink one is a Kolanchoe, not a violet. Kolanchoe have clusters of small blooms, while violets have larger blooms. Also, violet leaves are not rubbery, and usually have tiny hairs on them.
Yes the flower clustered one is a kalanchoe n very easy to grow...if leaves fall off or broken just bury n the will start other plants...
The pink is Kalanchoe. I have the same plant in orange.
The white flowered plant is an African violet
The pink is most definitely Kalanchoe. Sorry, I don't recognize the white.
The white one is a SaintPaulia also called African violet.
I think the plant with the little pink flowers is a kalanchoe
The top plant is a hoya and the bottom is an african violet. :)
The plant with the white flower is an African Violet...one of my favorites.
Condolences. I realize this is an old post, but if you still have these plants in your care, the pink blooms are Kalanchoe and the white flowers are African violets.
The pic is quite dark, but the pink flower one, I believe, is a Kalanchoe Florica. The white flowered one almost looks like an African Violet, but it's hard to see.

The pink plant with the thick green leaves is a tropical plant called kalanchoe. Water when dry, don't over water. It belongs to same family r species as a poinsettia
I agree with the white one being an African violet. The pink one is a Kalanchoe! I had a beautiful one that I got from a flower shop a long time ago.
The one with the white flowers is an African violet. Its soil should be kept moist and it needs bright light, but no direct sun, in order to flower.
The other plant is a kalanchoe, a type of succulent. It needs bright light, but should only be watered when the top of the soil becomes dry. Overwatering can harm it.
