Nelli18 said:Hello, I began gardening (lots of trial and error) with sempervivum a little over a year ago after learning there's way more than just "the green" or "webbed" one out there. I have found this site very helpful (for semps and others). I'm also currently enjoying Kevin Vaughn's book (halfway through it; also very helpful). I'm familiar with the Chick Charms series (double names and all) and learned a few days ago there's a newer series called Supersemp with 'Onyx', 'Jade', 'Emerald', 'Ruby', 'Amethyst', and 'Rose Quartz'. Just now, I learned a new series called Colorockz is out there, with 'Coral Red' and 'Arctic White'. I couldn't find much about them on this site (some aren't even listed). My question is, do you know if the semps of these new series also have double names? Thanks!
Nelli18 said:Kevin,
Thanks for the advice. I really am enjoying your book and of course it's making my plant list longer and longer, much to my husband's dismay. But so are the websites this forum (and your book) mention. In fact, I just received a box from the Perennial Obsessions Nursery and will be opening after typing this (very exciting). I recently ordered your 'Pink Lotus' and 'Black Lotus' semps (from MCG) and I'm cautiously watching them to ensure they settle into their new home. Fingers crossed! You've made so many wonderful semps. Thank you. I read you also hybridize other plants. Amazing! Thanks again.
And thank you to all. This site really has been helpful with plant information and its thread discussions.
