Here are a couple that I pinched off the top off so it wouldn't bloom out (I know it would probably look better if I actually used a knife rather than my fingers, but...there ya go) can you see the little chicks hiding directly under momma? the photo doesn't show but the ring of chicks is all around the hen!

Packardian (this one has 2 chicks hanging off the top, but one looks like its going to bloom out so I may have to redo the pinching thing and see what happens!)

and one that didn't work (just for interest) instead of sending out offsets with chicks, it sent out offsets with more blooms!
