S. 'Lemon Babies' is growing and producing new offsets. I am going to have to think long and hard about what I want to cross it with when it blooms.
Wonder what would come of a cross between Lemon Babies and Plastic would be like?

Maybe a thick skinned fuzzy one!

Wouldn't that be fun, and it would be the color of lemon meringue.

I've been reading back through this thread and realize there is a great experiment that twit recommended. Planting a single rosette of the miniatures, to see what size it will attain if given the room to grow.
I am going to do this with all my minnies this this fall. Can't wait for next spring and summer to see the results.

Affine has proven to be a very tough mini in my raised beds. I had not a speck of rot from the months of constant rain and no damage from three months of severe drought.
I just love this tiny semp.

That's already a nice big clump.

That is only one clump of several. Cynda just left for home, I sent her a bunch for the Oregon Garden. She will be back next week so we can thin out the rest of the beds. Half of the long bed and one of the 4 x 8 foot beds are now done and ready for our rainy winter and spring.
What a blessing it is to be able to send them there.

What is the Oregon Garden?

It is an amazing place to visit. http://www.oregongarden.org/

Very cool!!

Can't wait to see what they do with them.

Hi Lynn, How are your mini's doing? Did you end up doing the experiment? Have they grown larger? (just curious!)

Greg, thank you for the reminder. I will be working out in the yard today and will separate one tiny rosette and plant it all by itself.
Maybe one of Affine and one of tiny S. 'Silver Baby'.

Lynn, that is a great pic of a great clump of a great plant. Beautiful!

Thank you twit, it is one of my favorite minis. Do you have this one?

Wow, that's a pile of plants! Very nice.

That's so cool!

It is a very prolific little thing, once it gets established.

Lynn, I love your lemon babies, they are super! I need to track some down here!

Kate you should be able to find them as they are a European hybrid. At certain times of the year they look just like lemon curd, almost transparent.

Lynn, you sent me some a year or two ago (and thank you!). They were doing fine last summer. It will be another month or two before I see how everything fared thru the winter, but so far, things are looking OK. Some of my semps look like they are starting to wake up. won't be long now before the spring explosion. Just sorry that the darn triffids will break dormancy soon as well.
