I've been hanging out here long enough to know the common English name of Sempervivum now.  Yours are really lovely, so big and colourful.

I love hens and chicks. I have those green ones. But the redish ones, I'll have to look into-those are great too.

Sherry those are lovely. Sharon,I'm glad to see there is someone else that has trouble with them. And I thought they would be so easy. I don't know what my trouble is!

Those are really nice Sherry. It reminded me that I was planning to buy some to grow in containers for the patio. I like the kind that spill out over the rim of the pot. Do you know what I mean? I'm not very experienced with succulants as you can see!

What a nice little space you've created there Sherry. I love the different colors in them. I've always thought they were so cool but I've never given them a try. Maybe I will now. Thanks for sharing.
