Mystery house plant

Now I'm assuming this is a house plant. Our son bought it for his Mum on Mother's Day about 3 years ago when it was about 3" high. It had small pale pink flowers. I think it might be about to flower again. Some kind of begonia?

    Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. Pretty easy going plant. Just give it bright light and don't over water it. You might want to feed it before it flowers. Use a specialist succulent feed that isn't too high in nitrogen.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Thank you both for the ID. I did assume it was a succulent by its leaves but that was as far as I'd got. The compost was bone dry until I watered it today.
