Extracts...."Houseleeks
or
Liveforever
(Sempervivum,
pronounced
/?s?mp?r?va?v?m/)
are
a
genus
of
about
40
species
of
succulent
plants
of
the
Crassulaceae
family
which
grow
in
rosettes.
The
name
"Sempervivum"
has
its
origin
in
the
Latin
Semper
("always")
and
vivus
("living").
Sempervivum
are
called
"always
living"
because
this
perennial
plant
keeps
its
leaves
in
winter
and
is
very
resistant
to
difficult
conditions
of
growth.
-
Houseleeks
grow
as
tufts
of
perennial
but
monocarpic
rosettes.
Each
rosette
propagates
Asexually
by
lateral
rosettes
(offsets,
"hen
and
chicks"),
by
splitting
of
the
rosette
(only
Jovibarba
heuffelii)
or
sexually
by
tiny
seeds.
Typically,
each
plant
grows
for
several
years
before
flowering.
Their
hermaphrodite
flowers
have
first
a
male
stage.
Then
the
stamens
curve
themselves
and
spread
away
from
the
carpels
at
the
center
of
the
flower,
so
Self-pollination
is
rather
difficult.
The
colour
of
the
flowers
is
reddish,
yellowish,
pinkish,
or
-
seldom
-
whitish.
In
Sempervivum,
the
flowers
are
actinomorphic
(like
a
star)
and
have
more
than
six
petals,
while
in
Jovibarba,
the
flowers
are
campanulate
(bell-shaped)
and
are
pale
green-yellow
with
six
petals.
After
flowering,
the
plant
dies,
usually
leaving
many
offsets
it
has
produced
during
its
life.
"
The
genus
Sempervivum
is
easy
to
recognize,
but
its
species
are
often
not
easy
to
identify.
Even
one
single
clone
can
look
very
different
under
various
growth
conditions
(modifications)
or
different
times
of
the
year.
The
members
of
this
genus
are
very
similar
and
closely
linked
to
each
other.
As
a
consequence,
many
subspecies,
varieties,
and
forms
were
described,
without
well-defined
limits
between
them.
As
a
second
consequence,
there
are
a
high
frequency
of
natural
hybrids
in
this
genus
and
the
possibility
of
back-crossings
of
these.
However,
more
or
less
40
species
can
be
individualized
in
the
whole
area
of
the
genus,
but
there
are
many
more
local
populations,
without
nomenclatural
valour
but
with
sometimes
their
own
characters.

our

the

it
