More Pink

 The Sempervivum arachnoideum is blooming. Most of the Sempervivum have pink daisy-like flowers similar to this. It appears that the "hens and chicks" with yellow flowers are technically in the genus Jovibarba, although some call that a sub-genus of the Sempervivum.

A fun fact is that there are only three species of Jovibarba, and I seem to have two of them! That can be a topic for another day.

The other pink right now is the Seven Sisters rose I hate. Since I only like it one week a year, at least it deigned to bloom while I am home. The rest of the time I have to just keep cutting it back while wearing heavy gloves, and watching for random thorns in everything near it.

On the other hand, I am going to miss seeing several flowers I really like. But... one can't have full-time garden and travel, both.

I am editing until I can't stand to sit and look at the computer. Making progress, but not fast enough. Still too wet to garden. We had another 1.3 inches of rain last night.
