In all the years I've had sempervivum I've only ever seen them bloom once before...and now I have 2 blooming at the same time. One 'bud' is still quite small and may not grow to this size, but I was rather impressed by this big one. Can anyone tell me what factors play a roll in making a semp bloom? Is it the variety or the age or the growing conditions? All of the above?
