More of my plants,
Both Millie and Spider-man have been in my collection for a while now but Jiji is relatively new. I named spider-man because he is a red sempervivum spider.

Hen-and-chicks (Sempervivum tectorum), a European alpine species sketched in my Maine backyard. Wikipedia informs me that this versatile plant will protect my house from lightning, decay, and witchcraft.

Sempervivum. Or, Hens and Chicks. They cluster together, survive together. I admire them.

Building protection. Challenges of folkloric evidence. I've researched the tradition of houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum) growing on roofs as lightning/fire protection. Loads of folklore about, but cannot find any evidence that people actively planted it for this purpose in 19thC.

On the first Friday after the birth of a baby, Houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum) was mashed up into a poultice and applied to the infant. This was a Tuscan practice meant to encourage a long life.

Sempervivum arachnoideum センペルビブム・アラクノイデウム、クモノスバンダイソウの和名を持つベンケイソウ科の多肉植物。ヨーロッパ~中央ロシアの山岳地帯原産、蜘蛛の糸のような産毛を自身に巻き付けるが、食害対策なのか霜除けなのか、よくわからない。花は5〜10cmほどの花茎を伸ばし開花。
