before I get the right S. 'Bernstein' I've had a wrong plant twice...and I've given them to other collecters

nobody is perfect

Peter luckily I haven't shared this one yet...but was going to with @webesemps - since she's the NOID queen, I can still share some with her I will mark these as NOIDs...they sure are a lovely semp though! Its been one of my very favorite semps because of that deep rich purple color, lightening only slightly during the hottest part of summer, and now its beginning to get back to that dark purple!

Note this emoticon has open hands/arms (while jumping on his torso, {ouch!} ) ready to receive a purple NOID from you, Greg

Bev you always crack me up! (I'll save it for you until springtime!)

With the year round color changes it can happen easily to any of us.
I have several that I am now sure are incorrect and removing from my collection.
Commander Hay-This one I have shared with some of you. Please mark it as a NOID. This one is already gone to a new home.

Silver Andre---- This should be an arachnoideum type sempervivum, the one I have is a Jovibarba roller type.


Sultan - Mine does not have webbing and looks nothing like the correct Sultan


Tamberlane---- So sad, this is such a beautiful semp.


Anyone want these for postage?

Yes Lynn I do!! I'll treemail you, I especially like tamberlane!
How did you realize they're not the correct semps? I could understand the ones that are clearly not arachs but what about the tamberlane one?

Tamberlane should look something like that:

'Oh My', you are cleaning house Lynn !!!
Does that mean you prefer not to keep Noids (the one indulgence I will admit to) in your collection?

Thank you for the link Peter. Kevin was here and saw it in the bed. He knows that one personally, and mine was completely off from what it should be. Sighhhh

Bev, I have so many that I prefer to keep the space for named ones only. I do have one exception to the rule. This one stays tiny and dark red throughout the entire year. I just can't bring myself to part with it. It was one of my original semps from SMG many years ago, but I lost the tag.

Bev looks like its you and I - NOID fans!!!

Wow Peter that's a pretty one! Lynn I like yours in the photo because its olivey colored!

Greg, when they come it is usually difficult to tell much about them. So I have to grow them for a bit until I can see their true characteristics.
The Silver Andre was easy. Definitely not a semp, but a jovi. It is adorable, but a NOID.

I usually compare them to reputable sites to see if they match, but if they are close you have to go through the seasons to make sure they follow the pattern.

Or like you said have an expert look at it and help you decide!
I really appreciate your diligence in keeping the named ones named!

It is an effort with many participating Greg. It makes it so much more efficient and reliable if we all work together.

and the wrong Silver Andre isn't a real pretty roller;

if someone likes roller look at this one:

Blutrot (translation bloodred)

Yummy.
That is beautiful Peter. http://sempervivum-liste.de/Jo...

I never want to have rollers - but this one I couldn't resist

I love the rollers and I've noticed this one many times on yours and deitmar's sites!!! Wow it is a lovely one! Peter does it really have that coloration? Very pretty!

yes - the colour is real; and not only some years if the weather is good...it's every year again that show

Drooling over that one.
