Did you know that you can use Hen-and-Chicks for burns? The leaves contain tannins and mucilage that are soothing to skin. You can also use them skin wounds and infections. I didn't know this until just recently. I love this because I don't always have aloe around, but we have Hen and Chicks everywhere it seems.
Here is a page that shows all the different kinds, and boy are they pretty. Click here.....
These are one of my favorites, I love this plant. They are hardy and so great to pass down to your kids.
