Just keep on blooming.
This wonderful plant just keeps on growning out and keeps blooming! I'm wondering when it will end? I also wonder what is the real name of this plant? I know my grandma always called hers the "hen and chicks", however hers never bloomed.
I believe Hens and Chicks is the real name. I had one as a child and after many years it finally flowered. Then, the thing died. Turns out the hen tends to die after flowering and then the chicks grow to become hens and create their own chicks.

Thanks for that explanation. I guess I better enjoy these now! But I do have many chicks too so maybe I can enjoy again in my old age?
