My friend has just sent these photos of one of her plants asking me if I knew what it was. I can't recognize it so am asking if someone here can help with any ideas. My first thought looking at the leaves was Gasteria but the flowers don't match.

Crassula falcata, isn't it? Or do they call it Crassula perfoliata now? Nice specimen, spectacular flowers.

Yup! I think the full name is Crassula perfoliata var. falcata 'Airplane plant' or 'propeller plant'.
I got myself a young one last month, hopefully one day it will bloom beautifully like that!
