Sempervivum - Hens & Chicks

A flowering sempervivum (Hens & Chicks).  

Leaf propagation of Hens & Chicks.

Leaf propagation - a long process.  These are the stages of growth.  Took 2 full months from beginning to the appearance of a small rosette with roots.

These Asian ladybugs can bite. 

A summer of wildfires and hazy days with the sun disappearing for most of the time.

Racoon

This little guy was found on our plum tree 10 years ago. Looks cute but can be aggressive.
