I agree twit, Pacific Daemon is beautiful. It reminds me of S. Treebeard. Love that semp to. : )

Twitch and Lynn, when this P. Daemon has more babies I will send you some.

Thank you, Janice. No rush, half the fun is the anticipation. What are you looking for??

Sounds wonderful Sandi. Looking forward to it.

Thank you, Twitch, can't think of anything at the moment......

P. Daemon is a very slow fellow. Most of the others I bought at the same time have had many chicks.
P. Daemon has gotten alot larger, but has not produced like the others.

Watch it carefully. If you think its getting ready to bloom and have no chicks, contact me immediately. There are other strategies for propagating sempervivum beside waiting for offsets. But you need to catch them very early in the bloom cycle for a good chance of success.

P. 'Devil's Food' is one that I found is a slow starter. Mine finally started producing offsets last year, but only 3 or 4 per rosette.

Thanks Twitch and Lynn

Tabby, I also thought of taking that trough course but wasn't sure..... Have you taken classes there? How are they? Did you sign up??

I just signed up for the trough course. There were still a few spaces left, but not many since the class size is small.

Thank you Tabby for the update!!! I'm not sure I can make it now. Shoot!! I'll let you know as soon as I find out if it works ok. My apologies!!!

'Isella' has some bright chicks!

Gorgeous Chris!

That's really nice!

Got that one in a trade late last summer. Really like it!

One of my favorites. I love the color w/trim and the way the offsets grow. Such a lovely plant.
I do have trouble with rot during our long wet season, but it seems to recover nicely one the weather warms and the rains disappear.

Ah ha, I'm sure I got it from you then! Did you have a fun day today?

I had a wonderful day. I think we have the best people here on ATP. Today was proof of that. : )

One of my favorite NOIDS. It stays this pretty apple green color all year, matures at about 1-1/2" diameter, is very prolific and works great for crafts.
