Sempervivum in flower and in bud - Wordless Wednesday
Fab pics yet again jams but I've changed the caption to my post as I think every one missed the point. This isn't my little sister (as I haven't got one!) but my daughter sitting on top of my uncle's Narrow Boat & it's HER little sister pulling a face b behind her . . . lol
I had a house leak once. The landlord never really managed to fix it, and I finally had to move out. What's that? Leek? Oh. Well, that's completely different. <emily_litella_voice> Never mind! </emily_litella_voice>
Also known as the House Leek. This week's Wordless Wednesday entry

ReplyDeleteThe way you photograph your flowers, they almost look "alien" sometimes.

ReplyDeleteExquisite flowers. You need to get up close like this to appreciate them. They look almost alien. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteThanks all. Ruth that is true, given that they are fairly small flowers. My macro lens and ring flash were sound investments!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots
ReplyDeleteAre the roots edible, then? If it is part of the Leek family? Or is that just the flower name and totally unrelated to onion matters?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
