Lol you're not wrong Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Bev, Silverine and Mini Frost are my favourites too, so different from your run of the mill green and red semp. If there is such a thing of course - don't all jump on me at once! lol!!

I just hope that the bigger single rosettes don't bloom before I get some chicks, they look fully mature.

I googled configure when it was first mentioned on the forums, but I can't find anywhere in the UK that stocks it. Crying

I made a start on my rock bed yesterday Hurray! I bought some block paving bricks to go around the edge, removed the turf, and started to lay some of the blocks. It wasn't until the turf was removed that I realised how steep a slope it is. I had to stop around 6pm when the rain came. Leaving an unstable, exposed slope I was half afraid that I'd have a mini landslip out there by this morning. But fortunately it seems to have stayed put!. We have heavy rain and thunder storms forecast for today, but I'm hoping to get a bit more done over the weekend.
