We have had a few things that we've been able to enjoy. We have begun to see a few "fruits of our labor" you could say. YEAH for us!
One last thing... Back in Utah, my Aunt and Uncle had Hen & Chicks growing in their yard. I always thought they were cool. Well, when we moved here, my neighbor had some in her yard as well. She let me transplant a couple to my yard last year and they have really spread. I didn't know this but Val actually told me that they can bloom in an interesting way. I've never seen them do this but the other day when we were out in our garden, it looks like this is our lucky year!
Here's some info I found on a website: "Hens and chicks plants (Latin-Sempervivum) are mat-forming succulents that produce clusters of rosettes. The parent rosettes are the "hens," and the smaller rosettes that spring from them are the "chicks" or "chickens." This low-growing perennial will quickly spread to 2' or more in width. Although grown for its foliage, hens and chicks do flower on a tall (1') flower stalk. The foliage of hens and chicks plants can be red, green or some mixture thereof.
We'll make sure we take a picture when it blooms but here's the beginnning of our 1' flower stalk! Too funny!
Gotta love how plants grow!
