Sempervivum arachnoidium

When ever I see one of these I remember when I was very young and we called them Cobweb plants.  WE make a monthly tour of a number of garden centres to see what is colourful at this time of the year.

Today we popped into one of them and I saw these so they just had to be today's blip.  We weren't too far wrong calling them Cobweb plants as the RHS says they are known as Cobweb Sedum and Cobweb House Leek.  Their native habitat is from the Pyrenees to the Carpathians.
