Hens and Chicks

We have been fortunate to have had some nice dry warm weather which has encouraged my hens and chicks to flower.

I love the name of these flowers - I've learned so much here. Like the way you composed this shot. Very nice.

Gorgeous flowers- love their unique name:)

This is beautiful...my hens and chicks put up a tall stalk but the flowers (if you can call them that) are not pretty at all!

Your hens & chicks are happy plants! Love the way you composed this image, with the plants blurred in the background and the flowers off to the side. Neat! Fav!

Love the composition. I don't recall ever seeing flowers like these before. I love the detail of the flowers. Fav.

FAB dof!!! Love these guys! When my son was about 3 or 4 he and a friend were busy in the back yard with pots and pans. I went out to see what they were up to. He said "we are making artichokes" (he loved them). I have to admit they did look a little like artichokes...just glad they weren't eating them. The flowers here are so lovely!

Very unique looking flowers. I've never seen those before. I love their color combo. Great focus. Fav

@eyesmile it's a good thing you didn't interfere with their creative moment, look at how imaginative he is now with his writing career. :)
Btw how is the book doing?

Lovely burst of colour. These don't look like mine at all. Yours are lovely.
