Hen and Chick (Sempervivum 'Roasted Chestnut')

I only received this plant a couple of months ago so can't say but it sure is pretty!

Greg it is a stunning semp with it's form and unusual chestnut colored trim. One of my favorites.

I need to get pictures of mine. Only had it about a year.

'Roasted Chestnuts' is a very happy plant. Good increaser and never any rotting problem. If they were all so easy! I self-pollinated a stalk last summer and have a nice pot of seedlings. Hope to get a bigger and even more intense one!

I can't take much for creating this one as it came from mixed seed that Erwin sent me. Several of the group were nice but this was the only one named.

I keep forgetting which one it was that was a lucky find!! So you have no idea on its parentage? That explains why it looks different! If I get my act together maybe I'll order some seed from Europe instead of plants and see what I get!!

Here is mine, I bought two orders and they look slightly different, they came out of the bag looking different



Aren't they pretty!!

Oh pretty!

Beautiful Greg.

Thanks! I love how the cups fill with water, and forget they don't make good photos

Here's mine - a favorite with me as well. It's hard to get a good photo of it because the center is so dark - Wolfgang, you could, I'm sure

Patty,

would be great for me to make photos of this nice Sort. But it is not common in Germany. As I assess, nobody here has this. Same with many sorts of American Hybridizers. There are only less of them in Germany. Especially sorts from Kevin are most wanted.

Wolfgang, check with Trixi.
