Hi again Helen I am sure I have this but no blooms on mine and no tag either.:(

Is it wet with you to its heavy rain.

It's a sempervivum, Helen, but I wouldn't want to guess the species or variety.

it is ScotKat,
it was sunny this morning but now it is dull and wet :o(

thanks Bulbaholic. Do they usually flower like this?

Hi Helen yes that is how sempervivums flower - amazing! The rosette that the flower came from will die but the rest will keep going.

This is how they flower, Helen. After flowering the rosettes that the flowers are on will die but more rosettes will grow. We find the flowers interesting but tend to grow them as foliage plants.
It rained heavily here for most of the morning (forcast was for sun) and it is now cold and grey :-((

thanks for the info MG and Bulba. Forecast looks better for tomorrow ,fingers crossed.

Looks like close kin to Sempervivum arachnoideum.

when the flowers die back should i remove them or leave them to drop by themselves. They have flowered brilliantly for weeks but are starting to look a bit untidy now thanks

We have a pink one,very similar to this, called Sempervivum stansfieldii. Sempervivums are monocarpic so that after a rosett flowers it will die. Let the flower die back untill it is obviously dead and the pull the rosett out. This will leave a hole in the cushion but new rosetts will form to fill this hole.

thanks Bulba .I'll do that
