Way to go Christie. Great review for a wonderful succulent nursery. Hurray!

@JungleShadows Kevin, can Echeveria be crossed with semps?

Lynn,

No reports of any such crosses but it doesn't mean that it can't happen. Semps have lots of small chromosomes that might allow some sort of chromosomal pairing.

We have certainly seen lots of things crossed in the succulents that you wouldn't expect to cross.

Yes, like XSedoro SunSparkler® Blue Elf, which is a cross between a sedum and orostachys.

Couldn't sleep so decided to come on here briefly - stay warm midwesteners!!
Lynn I did a quick search for the sedoro Blue Elf and came across a website selling it
Though they were selling several for the price, but no, just one 2.5 inch pot selling for $29.96

This one is one offset making machine. These all grew last fall after I remove almost 50 from spring and summer growth.




Hmm, all dark ones today.
