Hello all,
I am still fairly new to semps(last year) and wanted a more experienced opinion. I got a few semps when I helped a friend with her garden work. She had this one marked as pink charm. Not sure from looking at database but do know they can look different with temp and time of year. Help is appreciated.

Lisa, we should get Goldfinch Chris to look at this. She has this in her collection and the pics in database are all hers of Pink Charm. Yoo Hoo, Chris.....?

I heard you calling Bev!

Hi Lisa, since that looks like a very young plant yet, I'm sure it will be going through some major changes as it grows up. The basic leaf shape looks correct, and I see yours has the fine cilia on the leaf edges, so it could very well be Pink Charm. I just went out and looked at mine, and I don't have any young chicks right now, so mine is mostly the olive green color. Here is a picture of mine with some younger chicks that look similar.



I suggest you keep an eye on it and keep comparing it to the database pictures as it matures to be sure.

Thanks Chris! I wil do just that.

Lisa, what great gift!

Oh wow Chris, what a beautiful picture

I must add this one to my list

It does have a very soft look to it. It's a nice one!

Great gift Lisa. It will be fun to see how it matures.

Wonderful photo Chris.

I missed this post - Lisa what a cute little pot of semps! (I like the pot as much as the semp )

Thanks Greg and Kate.

I made the pot last fall. It has glass beads in the sides

Here is another with a little noid semp - going for the asymmetrical natural look.

Lisa, love your pots and you made them?!! You should post both pics in the Succulent containers 2013 thread in the Container forum!

I agree! They are both really cute! I love the glass bead one!!

Very cool pots Lisa!!

I love them both

Thanks! It was my first time trying hyper tufa and I was not sure how well the glass beads would work.
Here is another with glass beads ( and a sedum)

Lisa, all of those are beautiful. I love the beads in the sides of the pots. And how did you do the ones will all the river rock in it? It is fascinating.

I lined part of the inside of the mold shape with the gravel before pushing in the hyper tufa mixture.

Maybe this will be the year I am inspired to make my first hypertufa container?
