Hens and Chicks
From last August:
Hens and Chicks are these weird little cacti that my mom grows. They open up kind of like artichokes, with layer upon layer receding into a centre that you expect to be revealed, but which really isn't there at all. They get their name because the adult plants (the hens) reproduce by sending out runners which take root and produce tiny offspring (the chicks).
