This photo represents an adhoc aggregation of recently purchased Sempervivum cultivars, all of which are going to flower. I put them together to facilitate manually crossing some of these cultivars. The flowering plant dies, so might as well put their exit to good use and try some crosses. In most cases the departed hens leave behind chicks, in a few cases where only mature rosettes were sent without chicks, I might lose them and have to buy them again.

I use #2 chicken grit to feed my hens & chicks :-)
