Houseleeks have accompanied us for most of our journey.They are our friends.

We also saw much Common Houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum) - they grow side by side - and the yellow Large-flowered Houseleek (Sempervivum grandiflorum).

And Buongiorno to you two - and grazie! We'll certainly be in touch once you're back home. It's fantastic reading your step-by-step comments. I'm rather envious of the rest of your itinerary as I don't know those valleys at all. In the meantime Buon appetito - Gillian
Thanks Gillian. We are honoured to have your company here (and rather smug that we are making you jealous!).
Ciao
Oh I wish I was there, too...
I am in love with Sempervivums.
