When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

Hi @shaghahadi I’m really sorry but I don’t know which one it is. I’ve had it for years and just know it is a #jovibarba

I’ve had this #jovibarba for years and it has never flowered before. Maybe it was the nibbling it suffered over the winter that has spurred it on 😉😊

I’m sure it’s flowered before, but the rosette that the flower stem comes from dies after the flower finishes 😖

I think that’s the same with sempervivums and I stick the dead flower stem in a gap in the wall... 🙄😂 @sieveheadsarah

Best I find somewhere to stick mine then 👍🏼😂 I was just reading that you can pull out the dead rosette and pop one of the babies in the gap 👍🏼😀

Very odd 🤔 Something has definitely been nibbling this... No idea what though. Any ideas?

I doubt it to be honest. We don’t have many and they don’t last long... @pelly

Just a thought, it looks like it may remain a mystery 🤔

15 Mar 19 • It’s been a really wet and windy week here so not much chance to get into the garden, but have enjoyed seeing this on my windowsill #jovibarba

You’re welcome Graham. They’re a bit different from the regular sempervivum as the babies roll away... not that they can get very far in this pot 😉 @gardengimp

Thanks Rachel. I think it’s liked being repotted and having all the moss removed. It had only been in there about 15 years 🙄 @rachelbrooks
