Hi...anybody help with this bad boy.  It's already flowered in Any,  and looks like it may be flowering again.  It's got rubbery leaves,  and little pink rosette.

Sorry about that Neil - I emailed to the address you have registered for the forum.  See this post  elsewhere in the forum to see how to post photos - it's not  very different from loading them to facebook. ....

Yay! Success!   Your mystery plant  looks like a double flowered Kalanchoe to me - in which case it is not  likely  to survive  outside in a Scottish  winter.  On the other hand - if you take it in as a house plant- it'll probably flower all winter too.
