and a Rhodiola


Rhodiola pachyclados

Lovely photos Oliver. I recognize the rhodiola, I have it growing in one of my beds. Love the way it blooms.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the calcareum semps.

Me too, Lynn ! Calcareum is my favorite semp. I like to observe this species in mountains.

Beautiful photos. It isn't easy to get such clarity with tiny subjects.

The pachyclados almost looks like it is glowing when you click and enlarge the photo.

Brilliant pictures Chromaphyto , keep them coming.

valleylynn said:It sure is. Oliver how big does that one get?

8 cm

Seedlings :


A "chance" seedling. Maybe a crossing between tectorum arvernense and 'Pacific Sexy' ?


tectorum arvernense x ?


the picture is bad but this semp is beautiful
metallic giganteum x ?




tectorum Vinadio CN mt1500,ET169,Italy

The photos are lovely Oliver. So it is a smaller type semp. I love the form of it, very pretty. I would love to see how it grows with the offsets around it.
Do you know the parents of your seedlings. That red is stunning.

Love that dark color!

Love the photos.

I added a comment below pictures

They are all beautiful. The last one seems to glow from within.

Awesome Oliver. I added 'Metallicum Giganteum to the database, so that when your seedling is named it can be linked to it's parent plant.

Amazing colors! Wish I had time to take more photos since mine have turned some brilliant reds, etc. since the remay came off, but I still have to do some last-minute packing and then head to the airport -- Yay! Can't believe this is really happening!

Thanks. I have a name in my head. I wait because I hope to have flowers this summer for the description

Specially for you, Lynn ;)

It is such a pleasing form, and the very dark color still shows the metallic appearance. It is lovely Oliver.

THanks, Lynn

I look forward to seeing more of your creations.

I'm only a beginner and I don't have many seedlings.
I have many seedlings without interest and I put the majority in the compost. I search to make hybrid with unusual botanical species and not only with cultivars
The only that I find interesting is this semp:
