Anybody familiar with this succulent?

Post by Succulent Keeper »

I am looking for the name of this succulent. I have it for about 20 years and it produces two or three flowers every year. I have two pictures enclosed.
Any help with the name is very much appreciated.

Hmmmm...that blossom sure looks like it's in the Aeschynanthus family. (Lipstick plant) There are many varieties...all with similiar leaves and flowers as yours.

It looks like a Kohleria bloom to me... is that a possibility?
