Sempervivum Tectorum...

Two days ago I posted a picture of a family group of succulents and a rather spectacular flower stem - http://365project.org/vignouse/365/2014-07-19 . A number of people have expressed interest in seeing a close-up of the flowerlets themselves... so here they are. I have since discovered that another group which cascades down the rocks in our largest rockery, now has two of these flower spikes side by side.
