Hens and Chickens

I'm not sure what the 'proper' name is for this plant which I know as 'Hens and Chickens'.

1/100s f/6.3 at 50.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

certainly the strawberries and cream colouring is attractive...

Whatever they're called they make a wonderful summer image!

Beautiful color in this excellent composition, despite the unusual name! V.

I saw the title, I saw the image, and was wondering if maybe you'd either selected the wrong image or had the camera pointed in the wrong direction, because I expected actual chooks.
I've not heard the name Hen & Chicks applied to flowers like these before; I always thought the term was more for succulents which radiate outward (the chicks) from a central core (the hen), but of course as experience can attest things, including words, may be quite different in Ireland.
I'm thinking some kind of delphinium, maybe... regardless, the wave like pattern that they make against the green is most attractive indeed.

I've not seen these before, they're very pretty. We have a hens and chicks plant but it's different. V
