    I've been hanging out here long enough to know the common English name of Sempervivum now. :D Yours are really lovely, so big and colourful. :stew2:

    Sherry, you have made a great little rock garden area.This looks so nice and well conceived. The Sempervivums look simply smashing.

    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! :rolleyes:

    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!

    I DID think it was going to be animal Hens and Chicks. Those look like succultents! I will have to check them out for our desert landscape-------very nice!

    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.
