Not Just a Pretty Face [Leaf] by sunnygreenwood

Not Just a Pretty Face [Leaf]

Like Hosta, the Hens&Chicks are normally grown for their leaves, not their flowers. However, this H&C has a beautiful flower. The bluish colour in the background is one of the plants from the H&C group shot a couple of days ago.

One of my arthritic wrists is acting up worse than usual. I'm going to have to stop using it totally for it to get better [just after I make another batch of red pepper jelly]. My keyboard time will be short and sweet and my shots, if any, will be limited for the next little while.

Many thanks for dropping by,
This is just so lovely!

And i thought hens & chicks were restricted to the barnyard! Thank you for expanding my knowledge - I know very little to nothing about plants and flowers. :-( Beautiful detail and colors here! Please do take care of your ailing wrist, and look forward to when you can post again.
