to sempervivum. I loved it so it came home with me. Yes, Nina is a helper. Crazy dog.

That is sure a dark one Julia.

I agree with twit on the cresting question. Cresting would involve the center of the rosette.
I have a number of semps this year that have grown in that fashion.

I had to go back and look again at the photo before I saw Nina's paw. Thanks for pointing that out Greg.

Its a lovely semp

I have a couple like that, they seem really 'crowded' almost like the centers of those old roses (confused, I think it's called) and they don't seem to have chicks, more like just a colony of similar sized rosettes. Love it, love the color! I'm very partial to dark red ones...and mahogany, blue, green with red tips...oh, all of them!

I just thought it was strange looking. I'm with you Bluefox, seem to love them all.

Hi Jacki.

I'm especially fond of the tiny ones, although they can be a bit of a challenge at times.

Twitcher,

Show us some of you favorites.

Hi twit. You have some very nice tiny ones.

Not as nice or as many as yours, Lynn. I am still anxiously watching the fate of my Orostachys minutum from an early trade last year. Most of them bloomed and only a few of the offsets survived the winter. They are so tiny and also so interesting that I just have to have them in my collection, even though I am planning on downsizing a bit (no pun intended there either!). I am watching them closely.

Spring, I will post pics when I can, but its hard for me to get the kind of pics I want for the smaller ones.

Lynn, we should build a list of the really, really small ones, such as O. minutum and ....Having a senior moment and can't think of any more.

Twit I thought there was a list, I feel like I've seen one...anyway, another small one is S arach Rubrum (which I just recently got from my trip to P. Obsessions!!)

Here you go Greg. The thread "Meet the Miniature Sempervivum" in Sempervivum forum

And S. rubrum is a very tiny one. I have had a difficult time getting that one to establish.
I also lost my wonderful O. minutum to bloom. All of it.

Oh those tiny babies are sooo cute! I think I'm going to have to try and hunt some down. After all, I haven't got room for anything bigger now!

They are so sweet, and many of them grow in a mounding type clump. So would be perfect for small spaces Kate.

I'll get photos of my rubrum next week They are totally cute! Oh and Pixie and Affine are small ones too!

Yeah, more photos.

Some of those names sound familiar. I loved that thread on the small ones.

We should all add updated photos to that thread, just the tiny semps.

I'd love to see more tiny semp pics!

Lynn do you want them to be different types, or just updated ones that we have?? I'll post later in the week!
