Kalanchoe IDd by Rosie as K. manginii

Does anyone know the name of this adorable succulent...I think is a Kalanchoe but which one?  It is amazing, flowering all summer and its easily rooted by sticking small branches in a pot.   A mass of red bells it does well in two large pots.  It seems to like some water from time to time.

K. manginii would be my guess, I grow them here on the Algarve in pots. Colours range through the orange/red spectrum. Nice lax habit shows the flowers off  if put on a shady wall and not too much strong sun. Easy from cuttings and well worth a try.
