And the kewpie goes to Greg Colucci for correctly identifying the semp with only 3 letters...

for that Greg. Love the sun we had today!!
Bev, hope that crested one grows giant this season.

Haha! Very few with those letters I think!! And its one I've wanted from the beginning and then don't end up getting, so its usually somewhere on my brain You'll have to tell me how you like it, what colors it gets and all that!
Spring - it sure was amazing out today! Even though it was cold(ish) I was walking around in a sweatshirt!

Nice crested semp there Bev. And I like that little red roller too!

@ webesemps, i have a noid that looks a lot like the last picture. Do you have any pictures of that one in the summer?
here it is now:

same plant in November

oops i clicked finished. It's amazing to me how fast my semps have changed colors and some i planted last March & April they look different now then they did then it's just like i go see a different bed once a week.We have had 2 very cold spells and are 2 days into the 3rd cold spell.It was 59 degree's 4 days ago and now it's not getting above low 40's during the days,with every cold snap my semps change so much!!! I would normally go to the beds every day but since i've went periods of not being able to look at it i can really see the difference.

Jelinda, regarding the red roller: here's a few photos of it happy in morning sun but not happy in afternoon sun.

Those are some major changes Bev, but everyone of them is pretty!

Great photos everyone.
I just love the winter photos of our much loved sempervivum. Keep them coming.

Taking my camera out this morning. The sunshine is glorious. In fact I may need to take something out to filter all that light.

Love the pictures so went out this afternoon to take a few here. Hate that some are looking bad but on the other had some are fabulous. Lots of work to be done this spring pulling leaves, lightening the soil and adding a top layer of gravel.

Oooh. thanks for the pic of Downland Queen which I am going to add to my Velvety Semp shoplist for May, unless you can remember where you got it, Julia?

This is what I did to help save some of my semps. If you recall I planted a raised bed late last fall. Not a good idea in this rainy climate.

I put this up about a week ago and of course the sun has been out ever since.

No idea where it came from but if it puts out babies your welcome to one. Just remind me in May.

You look like you have thousands....

Ok, Julia. It's a deal!

No just the angle of the photo. Have lots of clean up to do.

That's what all the sempoholics say...

My niece stopped by while I was out taking pictures of the semps. She may think I'm crazy, old lady out in the cold on her hands and knees taking pictures.

Did you mention to her that you were just in the process of extending a "courtesy" to the "photo hungry mob" and how much mob satisfaction would be derived from your efforts????

A few more!

In the noid patch. Love this one.
