I'm not sure what it is, this was taken at one of the greenhouses at Chicago Botanic Garden early March one year. A type of kalanchoe possibly? I like how the color of the bug blends in with the flower!

Great mystery plant. With any luck, some of the NGA experts on plant ID's will weigh in with some insight.
