It's definitely not a semp. Did you see the photo Chris posted of the bloom?

I was looking up a different Rosularia on his site. I haven't heard back from him. How do you contact him?
It would be wonderful if he would confirm whether or not we have the ID correct.

It is his busy season so you may not hear back for a bit. I'll have to look for the name of his wholesale nursery.

I wonder if he has all of those plants on his ID site?

Okay, here are some more photos of the pseudo Green Gables that Chris sent me for observation.
I am pretty sure that it is Rosularia alpestris.




Let's see how @twitcher plant is doing.
Do you have new photos Chris?

The Green Gables I had received in a trade completely bloomed out the year I received it. It did look unusual, but I later attributed that to its getting ready to bloom. I did not have any reason to suspect it might have not been Sempervivum. As I recall, I received two well defined rosettes that apparently had started crowning during shipment.

That would have had to be a sempervivum then twit. This 'Green Gables' does not crown, but sends flower stalks from under the rosette, not the center.

I am so happy we solved this one. Maybe you can let Toby know that we solved the mystery? Is that where you got it from?
