Does anyone know the name of this Succulent?

I have a NOID succulent that was purchased last year from a local hardware store. Originally it was growing in a 2" pot but was transplanted to a narrow bed that borders my front walk way. It's been growing like crazy ever since...even sending out a pup. It has never bloomed. Can anyone I.D. this one?

Not sure but google these names and see what you find:
Cotyledon elata, Cotyledon oblonga, Cotyledon ovata, Cotyledon ramosa, Cotyledon orbiculata var. oblonga 'Macrantha'
These are members of the Crassulaceae Family (Jade). I don't think it is Echeveria because it doesn't have the typical rosette formation. If you follow the link under my signature, you'll see pics of some examples of Echeveria

Plants Belonging to the Genus 'Cotyledon'

aeonium?

Aeonium is a possibility but they, too, usually grow in a rosette pattern

Plants Belonging to the Genus 'Aeonium'

Thanks everybody. I think it is the Kalanchoe Thyrsiflora. Sad to read that after flowering the plant will die. Hopefully the pups will survive. It's really a great looking plant and produces robust growth with very little care. I have many other succulents, but am partial to this one.

I have an orchid growing with a succulent, they do well together. Plus it looks really nice.

The pup will likely survive.* It is like a banana tree, after it produces fruit it is in a slow decline to death, and pups, when the mother can be chopped allowing room for the pup to grow, while benefiting from a full rootstock.* Im not sure if this is like what a clone would be, or if it would have genetic differences like a seed, but either way you get another plant.
