Happy Hen & ChickĀ soaking up rare rays of sun due to rainy, overcast early January.

They have lived in this salvaged strawberry pot for 5 years. The clay is falling apart and I haven’t dared move it.

These are third generation plants given to me by a friend. There are many, in containers and the yard, thanks to amazing hardiness and multiple “babies” from the mother plant. They love sun and take the heat of Georgia summers. The rosettes are interesting even in winter. While dark purple now, they will change to vivid green this summer.
