Sempervivum is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, commonly known as houseleeks. Other common names include liveforever (the source of the taxonomical designation Sempervivum, literally "always/forever alive") and hen and chicks, a name shared with plants of other genera as well. They are succulent perennials forming mats composed of tufted leaves in rosettes. In favourable conditions they spread rapidly via offsets, and several species are valued in cultivation as groundcover for dry, sunny locations.

Sempervivum species are evergreen plants and the name literally translates from the Latin as “always living” (“semper” means "always” and “vivus” means "living"). Taken in the garden. Bath, BANES, England, UK

Die Hauswurze (Sempervivum, Einzahl: die Hauswurz) sind eine Gattung in der Familie der Dickblattgewächse (Crassulaceae). Derzeit sind üblicherweise in der Fachliteratur zwischen ca. 40 bis ca. 60 Arten angegeben, ca. 200 wurden früher beschrieben, sind aber heute mehrheitlich nicht mehr als eigenständige Arten anerkannt. Zudem gibt es mittlerweile über 3000 Sorten in gärtnerischer Verwendung. Sie werden unterteilt in die Untergattungen bzw. Sektionen Sempervivum und Jovibarba. Von manchen Botanikern werden beide als eigenständige Gattungen gesehen. (Wikipedia)

Berg-Hauswurz in German, also called 'liveforever' in English because this succulent can survive in the hardest conditions, as here at 2650m on the Schneehuënderstock in the Swiss Alps.

Lanceleaf Liveforever
These are such interesting plants that are in the succulent family. They thrive in hot dry climates.

These are just a few of the Sempervivums I have dotted about in the garden/greenhouse . They are a very hardy plant tolerant of a wide range of temperatures so make a good plant to have around .
A succulent stores water in its leaves and grows in dry, rocky areas of the Sierras. Seen along the Merced River near Yosemite, California.

I lived in solitude in the countryside,
And noticed how the monotony of the quiet life
Stimulates the creative mind.

The stairs at the northern end of the old IMAS building at the University of Tasmania.
This has all be completely renovated now - IMAS has moved to a new site in Hobart's waterfront, and this building is now part of Economics and Accounting (I think!).
Art Kunkin, now aged 79, was the founder and editer of the Los Angeles Free Press, the most widely distributed underground newspaper in the 1960's. He was original and definitve Beatnik, a colleague of Charles Bukowski and a close friend of both Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary. After studying alchemy for over 30 years, he believes he has discovered the 'Philosopher's Stone', a way of living perhaps indefinitely. Inside the glass jar is a 'magic pair', which he has been eating once a fortnight for nearly a year. His hair (thicker than your average twenty-year-old and without a hint of grey) now grows twice as fast and his sex drive has increased substantially.

While interior locales are scorching and dry, I love the fact that the coast still has wildflowers in July!
Dudleya lanceolata—desert savior. Also called lance-leaved dudleya or Southern California live forever, but I prefer W. L. Jepson's name. As he explained in "The Flora of California", "Prospectors traveling over arid wastes chew the leaves of this plant when out of water. Some 'desert rats' carry it in their packs as a resource in time of need. The leaves are a little bitter, but they often serve tide over a period of stress or even save life in dire extremity." D. lanceolata ranges from Monterey and Kern Counties to Baja California. The flower color is often red but yellow is common as well. The plant photographed was purchased from Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.

Update: Posted to the "What plant is that?" group to try to ID the foreground succulent.
Taken at Point Lobos State Reserve in California.
Spent the weekend selling photos at an art show in Monterey. The weather was extremely gusty and we even had a few brief showers on Sunday. It was very amusing the watch everyone in the plaza scurry around, pitching and un-pitching their canopies, pulling their merchandise in, strapping things down, and in general behaving frantically every time a little drizzle started.
Meanwhile I smugly watched from the safety of my brand new, seemingly wind- and waterproof display. Having been one of the vendors in previous shows extremely affected by inclement weather, I didn't feel too bad about my smugness.
I also spent much of Sunday watching the storm clouds whip around over head and decided to go check out Point Lobos for the sunset. I ran into another full-time photog out there by the name of Doug Peck and we both headed to North Point for the light show.
Not wanting to reproduce a copycat shot of the rocks made famous (to me, anyway) by Patrick Smith, I spent a lot of time scurrying up and down the cliffs until I found this patch of not-exactly-ice plant. I then spent the next 10 minutes trying to hold my camera steady since my tripod head decided to fail on me and went slip-sliding around all over the place.
Not the most iconic shot of this neat place, but at least it's something a little different.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost - 1874 -1963
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down today.
Nothing gold can stay.
🌱🌱💚🌱🌱
-Unless you seize the moment - Carpe Diem
🌱🌱💚🌱🌱
It may not be the green or vibrantly colored Canadian Maple leaf you once saw, but when encased in gold, its beauty and embodiment will last you a lifetime always, reminding you of home.
Capture a moment in time, in any way you can think of, and keep it forever.
This morning, I went down in the basement and, after some rummaging, found this vintage mossy-green frame. It's just waiting to compliment the perfect picture but, for now, though, I'm grabbing inspiration for my next Storybook painting.
