Every since a dried-up little ball rolled out of the Plants for Pets box on Jan. 29, I haven't known whether it was alive. Today there is proof that it is.
The parents or siblings to this little ball, three rosettes of Sempervivum arachnoideum, were damaged in the frost of Feb. 19.
The little ball measures about 7/8ths of an inch. I considered whether to try cleaning the debris off it, but don't think it can be done without damaging the webbing. Here is a picture of it Feb. 16. The webbing was thicker then and it was hard to tell if there was actual green underneath, but today there is no doubt.
