Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi is a species native to Madagascar widely sold as a house or garden plant[2] that has established itself in the wild in some southern parts of the United States of America. The specific epithet fedtschenkoi honors botanist Alexei Fedchenko (1844-1873).
Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi is a low-growing, frost-tender perennial succulent that prefers dry, open ground. It grows to 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) as an untidy, low, rounded herb. The stems are round, smooth and lax with visible leaf scars, often bending to touch the ground where they produce roots and a new plant. Leaves are simple, fleshy, alternate, blue-green and oval or obovate with fine scalloped edges, the edges may turn pink or red under strong sunlight or drought conditions. The tubular flowers are carried in corymbs, often multi-layered in good conditions. Each flower has a short calyx edged with delta-shaped segments, the calyx is shorter than the tubular corolla. The corolla is an orange/coral/apricot colour. The flowers hang down.[3]
Commonly called ‘Lavender Scallops’ from the shape and colour of its leaves. It has few pests but may be susceptible to mealy bug or occasionally scale insects.[2]

Which Crassulaceae is this ?

I did check earlier but did not find a match.


your pic number three DSC0225 is Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi “marginata’

because it seems the margins have a slight color variation near the outer part of the leaf color variation it seems is seasonal
our kalanchoe page has two examples of  Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi..
 

the flowering stalk are not seen  in that picture of the plants
it seems the flowering stalk has flowers and a rosette of leaves
can you show us the flowering stalk cpmplete with the parent plant????
