sempervivum

Where it comes from

From the genus name.

noun sempervivums

Any of the genus Sempervivum of succulent plants, the houseleeks or liveforevers. My favorite of the moment: a sleeping man in a long cattle trough, planted with thousands of a Sedum album called Red Ice, now turning ruby red in the cold, with sempervivum eyes on a head-size volcanic rock, and two farmer-like feet made of same.
