The following images represent a handful of Sempervivum characteristics. The objective of this work is to plunge into the heart of Sempervivum. To the naked eye, particularly between natural species plants may appear to be similar, yet Electron and optical microscope imaging reveal differences between hair filaments, spikes, and nodes protruding from the leaf tips.
