Jo Ann only if we could make head or hide of some.

I went to the Nashville L and Garden Show. I had never seen a spiky plant in the middle of a large container of succulents. It was interesting, sorry I don't have a pic of it.

I love planning for my container before it is time to plant too. It has been snowy here so a good time to computer garden

Arif: Some old english words are out of my sphere too.

Teresa: I am waiting for my first succulent orders next month.It seems so much closer tan it was in January.

I looked for some of the large chicken and hens with red what are their names? Where do you order from?

I found semps at Romence Gardens and Simply Succulents.
I should clearify that my orders are for sempervivums.

Which semps did you order Jo Ann? Can't wait to see the container when it is done.

These




moss rose


pacific ice blue

red devilsfood





sedum voodoo

Jo Ann that is going to be beautiful. Is the red one Pacific Devil's Food? If so you will love the way it changes color. It never goes green, but stays in shades of red, brown and dark tan.
Love that red and yellow sedum, what a stand out it is.

The 8th one is Red Rubin.It changes.Good to know about devilsfood.I had hoped
Red Rubin

Jo Ann they went out of circulation a long time back, unless someone has the brains to read Shakespeare . Not my cup of tea exactly.
Wonderful Semps though. I am getting a bit of heartburn's.
Bittern is a bird in some dialect of Europe. "hæferblæte in Old English; the word "bittern" came to English from Old French butor"

You will love Red Rubin for it's beautiful color changes. Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum 'Rubin')
What is the solid pale green one. What a lovely pale jade green it is.

Good morning Arif. What are you doing up this time of night (for you it is night, isn't it?).

2100 hrs or 9PM. The evening is young and the night is warm and sultry, 63F . Mischief time has come .
Regards,
Arif.

Arif: Dont makeme jealous with your soft nights. I have seen Bitterns here but only rarely.
Lynn:
Raspberry Ice

Ah ha, thought it looked familiar. It will turn a lovely red for you this spring.

How about next spring.I will be planting it in April.Do you think t will color at that time?

We'll have to wait and see Jo Ann. This year will be a little off kilter for it, with the move. But it should still reward you with some color changes this year.

neat

Teresa, i did a lot of on-line & catalog surfing before i ordered any because this is the first year i've ever grown them so i didn't spend a lot of money.I really liked Simply succulents,perennial Obsessions & North Hill Nursery are the first 3 that come to mind. When i think about semps with red in them the ones i remember are 'Jungle Fires' & 'Sir William Lawrence'. Hope that helped you!!

Jo Ann, Is the 3rd picture Sedum refluxum 'angela' or some kind of womans name like that or is it another one. I agree with Lynn,the brightly colored plant will be an eye catcher.Can't wait to see the containers your make with them plants.
OH YEA,what is the plant in the 1st picture?

Sorry i spend most of my time on here asking you what are the names of the plants in your pictures,but i have to hand it to you,I've never seen such beautiful brightly colored plants & their blooms as the ones you pick.You have an artistic eye with plants,wish i did!!
