Here's one of a very few I have no ID tag for ... any ideas as to it's name?

Cheers, Barrie.

Here this is on an inverted 5 gallon pot.

Could be Sempervivum Bernstein or perhaps S. Big Slipper. The Hen and chicks varieties crossbreed very easily resulting in hundreds of varieties. The color has a tendency to bleach out with full sun exposure confusing identification further.

I sure like the color of the leaves and the spiky tips on your plant. The flowers are about the same shade as the flowers on my Red/Purple Hen and chicks.

You have a beautiful specimen.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps
