That IS an odd-looking one! Can't say I've seen it before. It looks "sort of" like a couple things, but nothing firm. If it flowers for you, please post again! Where did you get it?

The buds have not opened yet. It would be great to see a pic when they do. One plant I thought was slightly similar is that Kalanchoe mentioned. But blooms are pink & only 4 petals. Your buds look like they have more than 4 petals. I'll be waiting to see open blooms. :)

If you show me open blooms, I can give you a better educated guess. :D

The blooms are doubles like those of Kalanchoe Calandiva series, but the leaves are not a match. Any possibility the leaves were hit with some poison spray? Sometimes leaves on my plants get deformed when that happens.
