Ah, I really love those forest greens! I would love to swap places with Samantha ^^ And the Little Dal in Carrot Forest looks super cute!
Good luck getting used to the new computer! And I'm sad to hear the recovery costs are awful
The mother plant that shot up the flower does die after this process, but it shoots out a number of offsprings around her before she does so. According to a source, that's the reason for the plant family's name (semper translates to ~forever, vivum to living).
I just had a quick look, and read that Sempervivums take from 2 to 8 years to produce flowers, depending on their species and their living conditions.

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 photoso I haven't.
