Sempervivum
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
We have several varieties of sempervivums (hens and chicks) in our yard. They can often be overlooked, but closer examination shows a plant with incredible details.
I love these little plants. My sister has them and they do really well for her. She shared some with me, and I am down to one now. Of course, she lives in Mississippi near the Tennessee border. I think your state will grown anything.
This is one photo that needs to be looked at in a larger format.It is so lovely.I like these plants as they remind me of cactus,without the spines. Blessings,Ruth

I love hen and chicks...but, alas, I am a murderer of them!!!
I must confess, i have murdered a few of them in my life time. I love them, but they do not like me. to much water i think. these are so cute
Beautiful photo George. I love these hen and chicks too. They thrive on my neglect!!! Have a nice day.
It is like understanding a person more after following him very closely.
This is a neat picture, maybe it's the lighting. It really emphasises the furry little prickles.

Mine are coming along nicely this year too! I have some in strawberry pots.
I grow them in my gardens too. The rosettes look like green flowers.
One of the few plants I don't have -- have always liked them, though.
Oh I love them as well. I thought I had some but then maybe they died cause I havent seen any for a while now.
it's simply amazing and adorable. It would take a lot of effort and time to grow a plant like this! Congratulations!

Any idea why it is caused hens and chicks? I have a similar succulent in my garden.
This is a very interesting plant
Great detail in your photo. I haven't seen this plant around here, but it is a lovely one.
