Thanks. I didn't know they are in that family.

They're a very useful plant too, especially for rock gardens
and similar.

You mean Sempervivum tectorum (and other species), houseleek, or "Hens and
chickens".

Ken means Papaver somniferum 'Hens and chickens', a gorgeous garden beauty
- and a cultivar of the opium poppy.

You're talking different plants.
