**Kalanchoe Magic Tower Kalanchoe serrata
This is a small succulent plant of a grayish green color. It has many small thin oval leaves on the edges of which form many very tiny round secondary "leaves" or plantlets. I find this plant uninteresting and thought I'd eradicated it from our cactus garden, but here it is growing again. I think it should be put into a succulent weed category.
Planting and Growth: This little plant is a survivor. If you have one of those "black thumbs," this is a perfect plant for you! It will grow in the sun or in the shade with a bit of water now and then.

Kapok Tree, Silk Cotton Tree Ceiba pentandra
This stunning tree will grow as tall as 150 feet. Beginning in May and lasting into June in Montserrat the feathery fluffy seeds fly through the air and sometimes float on our pool. It is a magical time.
Benefits: Its pods are a source of the cottony material once used in life preservers as it is water repellant. In past days it was also used to stuff mattresses and pillows.

Kniphofia
There are many varieties this plant which has red and yellow fleshy flowers which grow on a spike with blooms arriving normally in late summer. It is one of my husband's favorites!
Planting and Growth: It likes full sun or semi shade and a moderate amount of water, though it is a tough plant that will survive without assistance during times of drought. Kniphofia do not like to be moved so think ahead before you plant one.
