Yeah, Greg, if not Meg Ryan, do you bump into anyone else besides SpringColor?

You guys crack me up!! No Meg Ryan, don't think she even lives here? ...but I think Patrick Dempsey lives here...never saw him but he bought out my fav, local goes national coffee! Tully's Oh and I used to see Tom Skerritt often and did see Kurt's wife, Courtney Love! Oh and Graham Nash has a place on an island nearby, I keep thinking I see him downtown, but not really sure - so I usually say that I saw him Anyone else famous from here? I know their are but can't think. I do "love it" when they film shows or movies up in Vancouver and call it Seattle, like those of us living in either place wouldn't know??? Totally different skylines. Ok that's my daily Seattle rant! Today I had this cute little boy who was mid tantrum stop look at me and the cute dog I was walking and semi-wave, semi-smile, then return to his crying and yelling! How cute is that!! I'm hoping to see Springcolor later this week

I will let someone else answer the jovibarba question

Mick, was wondering if this would help:

Jovibara, another genus of plants similar to Sempervivum.

ahhh cheers zone 8 the brown one....

sorry for the daft questions ,what is the difference between sedum and sempervivum?

To see differences, click onto the Plant Database and search for sedum and then sempervivum to see the differences and in some cases, the similarities.
My simplified version of the differences: Though both sedum and sempervivums are succulents, they differ somewhat in form. Sempervivums tend to be stemless and generally are rosette in shape with many leaves surrounding the growing center. Sedum can have closely clustered leaves along stems or widely separated leaves on stems. Flowers for each genus vary distinctly.

Mick, all questions are good questions. Here is a little bit about the differences in an article Lynn wrote: http://garden.org/ideas/view/v... Hope that helps.

Thank you, most interesting....

took some pictures of the semps in the local town ,every year they have a different display....

Wow, that is gorgeous Mick. What are the leafy plants, I can tell? The rosette plants are beautiful echeveria of some kind. I love the color of them.

What great pictures beautiful plants does anyone know the name of the sedum with the yellow flowers third photo down in the original post?

Thanks

John, I think it is this:

Stonecrop (Sedum spathulifolium subsp. pruinosum 'Cape Blanco')

Or it could be one of the many other Sedum spathulifolium. There a several named varieties that look much like the one in the first post to this thread. It is a beautiful sedum.
Mick, do you know the name of your sedum?

You're right Lynn, and I just hope it gives John a lead to one of the several named varieties of that sedum...
