Beautiful photos Martina. What is the name of the second photo?
Your tectorum variegatum is showing a lot of bright colors. Very nice.

Cheers Bev Smiling
Lynn, whoopsie, I thought I had put the name in... This is "Party Girl" Smiling I had Saxon standing in full, bright sunshine on the south side of the garden. First I was a bit sceptical as it was really white as it came to me. It seemes it likes the place and temperatures of over 30C does not do it any harm. I took pics of it yesterday and it has lost its nice pinkish colour nearly completely and returned back to a cream colour.

They are all beautiful Martina. And thank you for the name for 'Party Girl'.
My 'Variegatum' is in a slightly protected area that gets lots of sun, but not all day sun. It took me a year to get roots growing on it. Now it is fully rooted and looking strong and healthy. Still no offsets though, I am hoping this coming spring it will start producing.

I'd love to see that. I'm always considering the possibility that I have the wrong plant.

These semps are all just amazing. Next summer I am going to be picking your brains to understand all this involves, but it has got to be really fun to get a vision and try to create. Very interesting, all. Thank you for a fun thread.
