hens and chicks flower seeds Hens and ChicksWe were surprised at how easily this succulent alpine perennial germinated and grew quickly into recognizable baby rosettes. Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings.

Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings. In today's gardens, they can be tucked right into rocky and dry areas, requiring very little soil, or grown in pots.

Puppy loves them!
Color: Pig Balls
I boutgh this for my foster puppy that loves squeaky bouncy toys and she LOVES them, she carries one with her everywhere. It is great to play fetch or for her to play by herself, it keeps her occupied. For reference she is a 7m old 30lb Heeler/Pit mix and very much a puppy chewing and ripping everything off. These have hold pretty well, we've had them for a few weeks now and they are still going.

My 15lb Pom loves anything that sqweeks so these little eggs are perfect for him. They are fun to throw since they bounce in all different directions. Considering how many you get it's worth purchasing

dogs have fun with them
Color: Smile Face Balls
They are a cute product. Do not give to large dogs. Made for tiny breeds. I dog sit and the dogs who are allowed to play with them go nuts when I get them out and give a sqeeze. The toys are holding up well too.
