Wow, Lynn Thanks for those Big Ones!

Zulu 6/14/2016

Just the tag for scale.

Great seeing all the pictures! I was gone for 10 days, came back late last night, and haven't gone out to my yard yet - looking forward to seeing what's there...Fun to first check in here and see some pics!

Welcome back Greg. You were missed.

Your welcome Bev.

Julia I love your 'Zulu'. Very nice.

This is another one that gets some good size to it when mature. Only about 8 or 9 inches.

Welcome back Greg!

And Julia, I was wondering when we were going to see that Zulu! Thanks for giving us that treat of color and size.

You said "Only 8 or 9 inches", Lynn?...that's good sizes to me compared to 75% of my collection which are much smaller. Seems like big semps really take up a lot of room with their leaf spread but they sure are impressive to look at outdoors in the sun!

Wow look at the watermarks on Plumb Rose, big and really really beautiful. Must be the water in your little micro climate?

Glad you like it Marilyn. Sorry about the spider webs. I didn't notice them until I looked at the photo on my computer screen.

Thank you Lynn!

Hope you had a great 10 days.

I was in Detroit - I love my home town even in its sad demise! People are becoming friendlier than they were, and there is always something to do - music, art, bike riding, seeing a play - always fun activities!

So it was a really fun time. So good to hear Greg.

Was re-examining and enjoying the Semp Chat thread and found this to include here (with goldfinch4's permission) instead of being lost in the chat thread. Thanks Chris for showing us some Big Ones!

Eomer

Great photos by Chris, of some very nice semps.

Thanks, and yes, they're under snow again. They've increased the snow total expected from the storm moving in tonight through Saturday to 13.5"!! Guess I won't be going anywhere for a few days.

Stay safe Chris.

Wow yes do stay safe Chris! Great pics of plants, didn't realize Eomer got so large, now have to figure out where to move mine Ah well, have a few months before need to deal with it!

Wow that's a bunch of snow. I think we are having cold weather. I'm such a wimp.

Here's a semp that surprised me not with it's size though it is 7 and half inches wide but with the length of stolons that the chicks are attached to. They are at least 5-6 inches long. Now I know why long stolons can take away from the aesthetics of semp rosettes.

Wow, that one could cover some ground in time. Would be fun to let that go for a few years to see what the colony would look like.
