Hi,
The name you are seeking could be 'kalanchoe' (it has 4 pronunciations: kall-ANN-cho, kall-and-CHO-ee, kall-ANN-ko, and kall-ann-KO-ee). There are many varieties; they are hardy, drought-tolerant perennials. I have one that looks like orangey-green saucers stacked up on their edges (it's K. thyrsifolia, if you want to take a look). Check out www.DavesGarden.com and do a plant search using 'kalanchoe.'

Good luck -- and let us know what you find!
