Thanks, everybody.
Still in computer limbo. The new one arrived & at least eBay's global shipping didn't destroy it, but of course it's not "familiar" & I have to spend time sorting out settings & so on, plus a driver was missing; probably won't be the only one... feh
Yes, I do have an external hard drive. I was just colossally stupid & lazy

Sempervivum flowers do look like a weird alien has taken the plant over and is now emerging

I'm determinedly not looking up anything about them, because I want the fun & surprise of watching the flowers open for the first time. I canNOT figure out why they've decided to bloom NOW... I've had them probably 15 years and they've never bloomed!! Is that their lifespan? Are they like the ahinahina that blooms at the end of its life...? I could look that up too, but I might accidentally see a photo so I haven't.
