Hen and Chicks
Hens and chicks plants are mat-forming succulents that produce clusters of rosettes. The parent rosettes are the "hens," and the smaller rosettes that spring from them are the "chicks" or "chickens." This low-growing (4") perennial will quickly spread to 2' or more in width. Although grown for its foliage, hens and chicks do flower. The "hens" will die after flowering, but by that time they will have produced numerous "chicks" or "chickens" to take their place.

Rhubarb
I think I am going to have a problem with the rabbits this year. This guy let me get 2 feet from him before he moved. I knows where he sleeps, but I just can't hurt him. They drive me crazy, when they eat my flowers. And they eat a lot!
I am joining Tootie for the first time this spring. Please click here to see what ours have growing at Flaunt Your Flowers and Fertilizer Friday.

So glad your snow is gone! Best of luck with the bunnies. I do find the dried blood helps, but you have to reapply every time it rains. Happy spring:@)
Your succulents are looking good! Thanks for coming by my blog.
Alas, we are seeing no spring growth yet. Soon, I hope!
Best,
Bonnie
Bonnie, don't you just LOVE that sweet 'peeking' thru? Just lovely, the sweet signs of spring.
Have a beautiful weekend.
TTFN ~

FUN GIVEAWAY ends 4/10
You must be happy to finally see the earth again! My grandfather used to grow Surprise Lilies. They have such a lovely pink color. Have a good weekend!
Hey Bonnie, do you know where you got your resurrection lily? I've been trying to find one for years with no success. I can't even find them on line.
glad that snow is gone. Still waiting on ours to be a memory...lol
I have a rabbit I have been watching come and go for 6years now...I am attached to him...lol Think I might plant a lettuce border in the front just for him...but not sure yet! lol thanks for linking in...I appreciate it! I also love to visit!
your garden is coming along nicely. My chicks and hens actually have a long stick thing that comes up with a blossom on the end. Last year I think I had about 5 of them blooms. Can't wait for the weather to change here.
Hi Bonnie, Thanks for the education/links. I didn't know naked ladies were part of the amaryllis family. We spotted what looks like n.l. foliage about 20 feet from where ours are planted - wonder if they spread, or if that is a weed. Time will tell of course, as it does with all plants that I wonder, "Now what is that?" lol My hens and chicks died over the winter. They never thrived where they were planted so if I get more I'll need to research site selection a little better.
Beth
p.s. Love your bird photos!
