Seeking direction

Hello to all.

Lacecap hydrangea, many kinds.

 

Thank you Ron! I'm in love with these new discoveries, both the site and the flower that was intriguing enough to bring me here.

 

We call this one hen and chickens down here. Hen in middle with chicks around edge. Usually a full circle of chicks it it is a good head of hyderangea. Apparently the hen part are not fertile.

Interesting, here we refer to sempervivums as hens and chicks.

 

yes, those common names.....they differ from plant to plant and sometime geographic locations.

 

~Googles semperveriums~ and agrees that in NL, Canada, that is the plant associated with the vernacular "hens & chicks". Nice to see other breeds of hens! lol

 

Here's what I understand by the term:
