    I love that shot and I think the monochrome does it justice! Great, dramatic lighting. Looks like some kind of monster plant in a silent flick.

    Thankyou Schmoo. I can't even tell you what it's called...They just look so crazy I love them.

    Thanks Awais:D Even in colour it looks like it could be stone. They are pale blue in colour.

    Nice capture.

    Your plant would appear to be of the genus Sempervivum, which, by the way, is Latin for Always Living. Appropriate for a succulent-type plant. Species may be tectorum. Also commoly knows as houseleeks, though this term is generic to a lot of different Sempervivum species.
