Now that is very interesting. I looks like it is putting out offsets on very short stolons? Do you know what the other have of the cross is?

Chromaphyto said: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:


Seedling of heuffelii glabrum Debar Road PH 220

Beautiful photos Oliver.

Nice! That first one is amazing!

Beautiful Oliver. What is your weather like this time of the year? The colors and wonderful.

Olivier so lovely!! I can't imagine how wonderful it is to be walking in the mountains and see these in situ! We don't have them here in NAmerica! I've seen several different sedum and love when I do stumble upon them in the mountains, but semps would just be amazing!!!

Since one month, the weather is very dry with full sun and 21-23°C in the afternoon and -1 => 4 °C in the night. It' very uncommon in our country. April is normally a month with rain and storms.
That' explain that Sempervivum sleep yet and are with a beautiful red colour.
We wait rain for this Week-end

What a picture show Oliver. Such beautiful colors.
My favorite today is tectorum Spiazzi IOL 2007/01, Venetia, Italy. Love it.

This has been a very unusually dry and warm April, and now into May for us also. We are also used to a fair amount of rain at this time of year.
I actually hand watered the beds yesterday.

Super display there Oliver !

Thanks

It'on of my favourites, too.
I collected this plant in the Lago di Gardo area (Lago = Lake). It's a very big plant.

See my daughter in 2008 for the size of this semp

Oh my, that really is a large one, and a very adorable daughter. She looks very please to be holding it for the photo.

Wow I had no idea that semp was so large!!! Very nice!

Wow!

Best photo of all is your beautiful daughter!
