As a comment about Hen & Chicks (Sempervivum 'Atroviolaceum Pubescent'), Cahac wrote:

This is my favorite Semp. Can get huge. I had one that was 14" across and completely clear plum color, but depending on the amount of sun it can range from plum color to an odd chocolate brown in full summer sun here in Va. The usual size here is 6/8", however. It is a really fast multiplier. This is truly "Super Semp." LOL!--cliff

This is an unusual color for a sempervivum - very pretty! I can see why it's your favorite. I must admit, I've never seen a semp 14" across! Wow! Impressive!
