Thank you very much, Valfal. Unfortunately these days I'm unable to spend as much time as I'd like on Ipernity, so I'm far behind in looking at all the beautiful posts and commenting, so I try to catch up as I can.

Good morning Val. You made it really. I waited for you.
A wonderful contribution here. I don't know this brilliantly photographed flower.
I like the name "Hens and Chicks"!

Thank you so very much for waiting for me, Klaus. I am so sorry if I inconvenienced you in any way. I am very happy you like my photo! I had never seen this plant bloom before until I bought one last year for my garden. This year I bought some that already had bloom stalks on them. They are really like something from another planet, lol! Have a good night, Klaus.

Ein wundervolles Macro. Ich mag vor allem den Kontrast zwischen den spitzen Blättchen und dem weichen Hintergrund und den Rot-Grün-Kontrast.

Hallo Klaus, das war der Name, der auf dem Topf stand, in dem ich die Pflanzen gekauft habe. Die Blüte sieht ganz anders aus als die Pflanze selbst. Schaut euch die Fotos an, die ich gerade in den Notizen gepostet habe.

The buds are just perfect, and perfectly photographed! Sempervivum like dry and warm places, in our area they are often planted in the cracks of low drystone walls, you can the just leave them on their own;-)
