I enjoy watching our Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum is the real name) go through a lifecycle stage.
That is when one grows tall and flowers.
This happens when a hen reaches full maturity and produces a tall flower stalk called an inflorescence and happens when the mother plant is nearing the end of its life.
I’ve always liked them too. My father had a 6 ft layered stand full of them for many years built around the lawn light pole.
Your photos are great!
Thank you!
