Hi Fatos. It's Sempervivum, a ground-hugging alpine plant (see the third shot for how it looks usually). When it flowers, it sends up little stalks on the top of which a group of small flowers open (see the first two shots).
wow..............wonderful, what are those flowers at the top, they are really something. Just realised, are they passion flowers?? What ever they are they make pefect photos.
Hi Loretta. They are Sempervivum flowers, the flowers of the plant in the third photo. The third photo is how the plant looks most of the time. When it flowers, it sends up a tall flower-stalk topped by several of those flowers.
Gorgeous shots of this gorgeous flower!

ReplyDeleteThanks NF :-))
DeleteI can't manage to keep that plant growing, but I love the blossoms!!! So odd looking, but I think they are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYes, they look really odd when the flower-stem suddenly shoots up from the ground-hugging plant :-))
DeleteBeautiful in all its stages.. A new one to me BTW.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sallie :-)) Sempervivum is quite a common ground alpine, found in many countries. I 'm surprised you've not seen it before.
DeleteThis flower is so pretty, before and after blooming is like a magic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie :-))
Deletebeautiful Mitch-I love it closed too before blooming
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy :-)) I think most people are more familiar with the ground-hugging plant, than it's flowers.
DeleteSo interesting with closeup pictures. It is like a new world. I just love such photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ulla :-))
DeleteOMG Mitch what are theseeeeee ?
