Sempervivum Arachnoideum, sometimes known as cobweb houseleek, is a perennial plant of the genus Sempervivum. Its name arachnoideum refers to its furry central rosettes, resembling spider webs.
S. arachnoideum is a low-growing, evergreen perennial, that grows to 0.1m by 0.15m in full sun and well-drained soil. It flowers in July, with pink flowers that are raised on stems and hermaphrodite.
I took this picture while hiking up to the Mt Thabor, at an altitude of 2300m.
One may notice that my camera aperture was too small; giving a background not blurry enough (in my opinion)
I don’t know the specific kind of the fly enjoying the flower; let me know if you do.
Thanks for watching,
Damien. |
