Greetings friends (as) of @Steemit, as they have been able to realize I am a lover of nature especially with flowers and whenever I have the opportunity I take pictures of each flower that finds me on my way. In this opportunity I share a plant which is very common in the municipality where I live I speak of this beautiful flower called "ALWAYS LIVES", its scientific name is: "Sempervivum".

Here in the Municipality of Colón-Zulia State it rains a lot and taking advantage of the occasion I wanted to show you some pictures of how these flowers look at sunset and when it rains, I particularly like them when the raindrops are on their green leaves.

Most of my neighbors and old ladies with so much experience and many stories to tell, told me that this plant owes its name so it lasts a long time in the gardens planted, so you know if you get it one day to plant it in your garden you will have a good time with you, for that reason it is given the name of "Always Alive".

It is also called because it is always the same glossy, keeping at all times the smoothness and brilliance of its leaves. It is an enduring plant, with a great capacity to withstand the most adverse or difficult conditions of development

Usually here in my country Venezuela only look purple, color that can be seen through these photographs presented in this post, unlike other countries that grow to obtain many crops from them, very varied in colors and its shape of petals. Therefore, when looking for it on the internet, you will find a variety of plants with this name Siempre Viva, since depending on the place where your form and color will be planted, it will be very different from the rest of the cultivation in other countries.

According to several documentaries that I saw regarding this flower, these authors debate about the place or country from which this plant comes, some speak that is native to the African continent, others say that of the European specifically of the country Spain, but it has now been extended, the way of the cultivation, to tropical regions of the whole world, for that reason what matters is to know what American countries as it is in this case Venezuela can also obtain this plant.

Let's not forget that plants not only dress our gardens with their beauty, but also often serve to make it so we can say medicinal canards that are therefore given the name of "medicinal plants", are used to treat and prevent a lot of problems of health.

Its purple color is truly unique and distinctive, which you can use ideally for fresh and dried bouquets. Remember to love nature make her your friend, it is one of the best things that our eyes can admire.
