Bill,
Over the yr. my parents and granny had "Hen's and Chickens" and never remembered ever that they bloomed....
When I started gardening,
....in the begining, as a new gardener....
And I saw this, I thought I had a new species or something on my hand,
couldn't figure out what it was doing?
Well, I found out it was flowering....
But I remember that time, and I look back
at it now and think how silly!!

But time in the garden is the greatest teacher of all....Also equally as important is paying attention to the teacher, is a very close second. Sometimes she slips things in through, just to see if we're looking!!!

done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

Wow! I've never seen them bloom, either. Have had them for years. That's a real eye-opener.
