[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hen and chicks is a common name for a group of small succulents belonging to the flowering plant family Crassulaceae, native to Europe and northern Africa. They grow close to the ground with leaves formed around each other in a rosette, and propagating by offsets. The 'hen' is the main plant, and the 'chicks' are the offspring, which start as tiny buds on the main plant and soon sprout their own roots, taking up residence close to the mother plant.

Very appealing look at this succulent. I like how it seems to "hatch" from the clayware:) The focus is clear so we can enjoy the details, and the blurred background avoids any distractions there. Nice job!
