Alex I would love to see you variegated Phedimus when it comes out of dormancy. It looks so much like 'Lime Twister'.
I can't make out the plant in the second photo.

The lighting was weird Blinking and the plant color was really similar to the soil color. The second photo just has two sprigs of Phedimus kamtschaticus, Phedimus spurius 'Elizabeth', Phedimus spurius, and the good ol' Phedimus sichotensis. I think my favorite genus might actually be phedimus or hylotelephenium. I think it depends on what season. I personally think hylotelepheniums look best during winter and late summer but I think phedimus look really good in spring and fall.

So this is part of the group I would call Sedums, Phedimus being the genus. So the type plant is Phedimus stellatus, and there is Phedimus spurius with
several varieties including 'Tricolor' and 'Dragon's Blood' and 'Bronze Carpet' and 'Red Carpet' , then there is Phedimus sichotensis (Sedum sichotense)
and there are several Hylotelephiums

Willinator yes, they all used to be Sedum in the nursery trade. Here is a list of all of the Hylotelephium species. And don't forget all the hybrids we have now.

I remember previously we had a short conversation about 'Touched in white' and 'Sandy's silver crest' (did I get the name right?)

I thought about it more and have a few questions on sandy's silver crest:
> I've read about plants being variegated and such (I read botany textbooks Blinking ) and about albino plants, and I've read about plants turning from albino to usual and from usual to variegated every once in a while, but I've never heard about a plant switching back and forth so much like the pictures of sandy's silver crest. Not sure what the white and green coloring is called.
> What makes sandy's silver crest sandy's silver crest? Is it just rupestrum variegated, or is it something else? Exactly how did this cultivar get made?
> Does the amount of light, soil quality, temperature, or living conditions affect it's white coloring? For example, will high light make the plant grow green leaves and low light make it grow white leaves?
Thinking i am a bit confused

I think that some years on New Year's day we're more happy that a new year has arrived,
whereas on other years we're mainly happy that a year passed.

I think that this year's New Year we're 90% happy that 2020 ended and 10% happy that 2021 started Rolling on the floor laughing

Smiling thanks.

Previously we talked about the variegated phedimus.

It looks really different compared to the regular 'Dragons blood'. It's basically Lime Twister but it has light green coloring in the middle, and the leaves fade into light reddish-orange when they mature. It's really pretty, and it's grown some even though it's "dormant". I guess we'll see if it's growth changes in the summer Smiling

@valleylynn I found it growing in one of my old sedum patches at my old house. I can send you some in the future, once it grows bigger. Smiling
