Glenn, can't wait to see your seedlings when they germinate. Be sure to post photos when the event happens.

I need to take the camera out and see how mine are coming along. Looks like there is at least one heuffelii in the bunch.

[...I am glad we have inspired you glenng! I'm also looking forward to what the mystery semps will be! Mine are growing quite fast! Must be the rainwater pipetted onto them and perhaps the high humidity. My seedlings are also indoors on my kitchen windowsill.Here's a sneaky picture!]

oh Pia, yours are looking so semplike!!

[..thank you, finally my fussing and loving are paying off! the rainwater has been the biggest factor! Ever since I started doing it, they've absolutely thrived on it! I definitely suggest collecting rainwater for your indoors plants/seedlings! I brought 2 more glass cookie jars today to start another batch of 30 mixed Semp seeds.]

Haha we haven't had rain here in months If it ever rains again, I'll try that though. Thanks for the tip.

[...I wished it hadn't rained here for months, we've had it pretty bad past few weeks!]

oh no, everything that has not been hand watered is brown and crispy and even with hand watering it is hard to keep up with the heat. Especially this last week what with my surgery and all. I am almost a okay again, though no lifting for a while yet.

Michelle, what surgery?? Glad to hear you're OK though.

We're having the same weather here. It's pretty ugly this year.

I had an emergency appendectomy on the 6th. Doing great now. Just get tired easily and am not allowed to lift stuff and have not had to clean the litter boxes since then. Rob is doing it for me until Saturday when I'm 'allowed' to again. She is looking forward to saturday! She cleans them with a mask on!

Not the best photo, but they are a tiny bit bigger.

They're still growing and looking good!

You keep getting better.

Glad to know you are almost healed Michelle.
Those babies are looking good.

Michelle, your babies are looking fab! Glad they didn't dry out and go crispy! Anyone got any photos to update of theirs? I am interested in how fast they are growing depending on where they are!xx

I'll take a new photo of mine today and post it. Mine are out in the yard and having to tough it out. We might get a tiny bit of rain today. Yesterday I had to start watering the yard. Everything is really dry.

[...You're all so lucky! Here in Rochester it's been so very wet this summer! Send me some of your sun please! ]

Oh Pia, how wonderful, we get to see you.

[...I wanted to show you guys what I look like at 23 and just starting in the plant world! I'm half Greek. One quarter Arkansas, U.S.A. and a quarter British. I'm like a milkshake of ethnicities! I need to check on my seedlings today, I seem to not be able to start my day without saying hello to them and wiping the excess moisture off their glass cookie jars.]

What a wonderful combination of ethnicity you are Pia.
For me it is Scottish, English, Irish and Native American.

And look how we all come together in our love of the little sempervivum.

[...Yes, semps have bought us all together! Fascinating really!]

I took a new photo of my semp seedlings this afternoon. I also moved them into one of the raised beds. Hope they survive the move.


Here is the one I think might be a heuffelii.
