valleylynn said:Beard of Jupiter, I notice they don't make the b (from beard) upper case, is that correct? Not to be confused with Jupiter's Beard (Centranthus ruber).

On Sempervivum, Houseleeks or Live Forever is used much of the time. Hen and chicks (chicks not upper case) is associated with many other plants including sempervivum. I am not really sure which is correct in Hen and Chicks/Hen and chicks. I tried researching it, Wikipedia and many European sites show it as Hen and chicks. Nurseries show it as Hen and Chicks. ?????

Would be great if we could have all three of those common names. But I guess that would not look good in the semp listings. Blinking
