Jojoe, if you click on the Recommendations tab at the top of the page, you can see what everyone is saying about the sources.

I love Perennial Obsessions and SMG, North Hills, Mountaincrest and Youngs.

You really can't go wrong with any on this list, as it is the one compiled by Lynn,
here in the Succulent Nurseries thread:

The thread "Succulent Nurseries" in Sempervivum forum



Have fun!!

Janice, love your 12 step program!

It sure works, doesn't it?

Mmmmm Now I have a list of £24 worth of semps and jovi's to order from Fernwood. I knew I shouldn't look lol I might have to wait until next pay day though!

Isn't it funny how you will count change just so you can get your semps.My hubby says he's never heard so many reasons why i need a plant when we are at Lowes.It's usually semps,sedum or some type of hoya for me.My favorite is "but dear if i don't buy these plants now i may not get another chance" & "i've been wanting this plant forever. I've used up all holidays & my birthday!

loving this 12 step program!!!

You go, Kate!!! May I ask what you are ordering?

JoJoe, that is too funny!

So glad the "program' is working!

As it stands my list is:
Baby skroci
Grey velvet
Hey hey
Pacific purple shadow
Pink puff
purple dazzler
silver thaw

and jovi heuffies

Angle wings and Tuxedo

Although this may be subject to change before I actually get around to placing my order!

Janice, loved your suggestive 11 steps!

Jojoe, don't worry about me! I just like reading your posts that tell us your babies are doing well!

Kate, love your list!!

Can't wait to see them!

Thanks, Bev!

I can see the program is right on track. Hope you all are doing your homework and not falling off the wagon.
I happen to know that Kevin is doing quite well with his 12 step program. I have received documentation of his strength and fortitude for staying on track.

Well, I've sold my plant business, so I can buy more plants with the proceeds - of course, I already have over 160 named varieties, and lots of seedlings that I grew from my own seeds, so maybe I already have enough Not...

Just had a thought is Greg ok?? Haven't seen him all weekend!! Hope he's well!!

No Greg? I think he was house sitting. Maybe he is home now and busy playing with his semp babies?
Greg, are you there? Come on, answer Greg, before we worry ourselves to death.

Never enough Jacki.
I have more coming this month, and can't wait to get them.

So excited I just got my box from young's now for the fun part unpacking. I will let you know how it goes later.

Oh John, photos pleeeease.

If you want to feel better about your obsession just listen to mine!

I have been breeding plants for 50 years and hope to get another 20 in before I have to turn in my tweezers. And of course I don't cross one thing I start with hellebores, then daffodils, pulmonaria, irises of all sorts, penstemon, hardy geraniums, daylilies, heleniums, sedums, achilleas, alliums, hosta, and dianthus. I belong to all the societies for these plants and have been an officer of many. I was a founding member of the Sempervivum Fancier's Association and the Species Iris Group of North America!

When I lived in MS I filled the first 80 x 180' space so I BOUGHT THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR to extend my garden. and of course I moved to Salem OR because this was an ideal place to grow the plants I breed. I have met many other addicts here. We don't go to meetings to stop this behavior we belong to groups to buy more!

You might think semp purchases are addicting but wait until you get your shoe box size $1K order of daffodils or daylilies. Then you really know the sickness is bad. I think i might need 40 steps...

Do you all feel better now???

Kevin

Thanks Kevin, I do feel better. But I have to admit, I did consider buying the house next door to tear down and make gardens on the property too.

Somebody please notice the duplicate posts by Jungle Shadows about semp addiction. I've been trying to convince Dave that I have been seeing duplicate posts by Lynn, John, and now Keivin throughout this week.

Kevin, too funny!!!

Thanks, I agree with Chris, you sure did make me feel better!

Kevin, I'm so impressed. I dream of buying the house next door -- not only to extend my garden, but also to exterminate all of the horrible blackberries and ivy that keep creeping into my own garden from over there.
