My flowering plant

Before we went away on our last house-sit, I took a photo of a flowering plant my friend had given me. At the time, it had buds but no flowers. I couldn’t decide if I should take it with me or leave it to take its chance on my plant stand.
In the end I left it behind and here you can see the pretty flowers it had. They were still looking really good when I returned and are only just now starting to fade away.
Maybe someone knows that it is. I certainly don’t.

Benign neglect obviously suits it! I'm pretty sure it's a Kalanchoe, like this one:

The flowers are beautiful, and the buds look cute! I like the leaves, the shape looks so unique and thick, right?
I don't know the names of plants. My children always asked me when we walk in the park, but I can only name a few. But without knowing the names, it's still nice to enjoy the beauty of them, right?

@JudyEv You're welcome. Never heard of a kalanchoe. It's pretty though.

At first I thought it might be a begonia, but others have said kalenchoe, and I think that's it.

Nice looking flowers.
Are they fading because of the warming up?
I think a few more folks have commented about what plant it is.
Have a nice weekend.

Many suggested kalanchoe and I think they're right. It's very pretty.
