We have sempervivum (hen and chickens) in several places around our yard. We like them because they are always green, regardless of the weather or season (‘sempervivum’ means ‘always alive’). One thing we didn’t know was that the hens, just before they die out and are replaced by chickens, flower. The flowers are small and delicate, but still beautiful. I got this photo of a flowering hen in out front yard.

Those pretty little flowers are gorgeous --once you see them up close and personal. Love it... Thanks, Honey.
Love,

Goodness, I have never seen a flower anything like this! Awesome!!
These flowers may be small, but they sure are pretty. Fantastic capture.
Really looks good when enlarged.
Those are really interesting flowers. I've never seen them before so I appreciated seeing them.
That is a beauty. I know so little about plants. It was not a passion for me years ago and now I am glad we can google because there are so many wonderful varieties I could never learn all.
Wow,that is so pretty!☺
I am following and will be visiting more often for such pretty pictures, have a lovely weekend ☺
Interesting looking flower. Have not seen it here. I love the color
It is a beautiful flower.
George, I came here via Heidrun's blog. I spent my first 36 years in Mississippi, and all but two of the last 34 in Oregon's Willamette Valley, but my ancestors hailed from eastern Tennessee, so I'm aware of the beauty of it. I so enjoyed browsing your photos. As for the mountains calling you, you would surely love the Cascades.
