    We called it a Jade plant, Crassula, Lucky plant. There is a Jade plant with bigger leaves which flowers. I have never seen this one flower, but it makes lovely pot plants and will grow quite big. They will grow from cuttings and can be really attractive if pruned judiciously and not left to grow enormous and ungainly as you can see here, below:

    Jade plant, is a totally different plant Crassula ovata, a taller plant, larger leaves and profuse flowering. This one better named as elephant plant or dwarf jade plant is smaller plant, hardly coming to flower in cultivation...Portulacaria afra
