Sempervivum “Emerald Empress”
In our continuing series of Sempervivum photos, I gotcha this one right here. Well, what do you think? It’s got nice thick leaves, green and pink hues, pups coming off the sides. It’s a winner!
The name “Emerald Empress” comes from the ancient greek phrase,
καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ· δεῦτε πλινθεύσωμεν πλίνθους καὶ ὀπτήσωμεν αὐτὰς πυρί. καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς ἡ πλίνθος εἰς λίθον, καὶ ἄσφαλτος ἦν αὐτοῖς ὁ πηλός.
But you can still refer to it by it’s English translation if you like.
