I think this is Bryophyllum daigremontianum, or Mother of Thousands. These are the plants that have their offspring as tiny plantlets along the edges of their leaves; we had a dynasty of them (a different subspecies, I think) at home for a while, until they succumbed to the perils of asexual reproduction, but until yesterday I hadn't known they flowered.
