Sempervivum. They’re not blooming yet, but the leaves are already showing. Later this summer, this delicate and colourful plant will add its touch of magenta to the rocks.

A close-up photograph of a Sempervivum rosette growing among alpine rocks and grass. The fleshy leaves form a tight spiral with hints of red at the tips. The flower stalks have not yet emerged, giving the scene a quiet early‑season feel.
