Photo Hunt - Pink

The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is pink. For once I don't need to do something like a blue work shirt by Thomas Pink. Here are two blooms from a little Sempervivum (house leek) that is growing in a small gap in the wall of our front garden.

    My son is still in Blackpool playing pool. They beat all the teams in the team events but England, and progressed up to the semi final, where they got beaten.

    Such a wonderful little flower. And so much detail in the image. I bet the flavour is delightful as well.

  39. Great macro shot. I have never heard them referred to as 'house leeks'. I know them more as hens and chicks. The wikipedia entry on houseleek is pretty interesting. Protect a house from lightning??!!

    BTW, I also like your photo of the Phygelius. I love those plants. Great picture of 'Devil's Tears' cultivar.
