When I was a child, my grandmother had a whole section of her massive flower garden devoted to her "hen and chicks". About 5 months ago I visited this lady who had this massive plant and she gave me a lot of starters which I planted in this pot. I was amazed when in the center these blossom developed! Then they bloomed! Grandmother's never did that I remember!

I had a bunch of these when I was a child!
If memory serves me correctly I saw them bloom just once. They must be a "once in a long time" kinda flower!
oh, no, I was hoping they would bloom every year! I guess I better enjoy them now! Thanks for the warning.
They are lovely! I have never seen them blooming either. They must be very happy where you have put them....
I just looked up hen and chicks on Wikipedia

They say the plant will die after flowering! Eeep!
But they say the chicks will go on growing and become hens themselves, so maybe its not so bad.
