Hey, everybody, I'm mostly interested in getting more of Gossett's Pacific series semps, semps that are small (under 1" in size when full grown), Rosularia's, Orostachy's I don't have and Sedum that are under 2" tall.

If you have any of these, please tree-mail me to discuss possible trades. I should have a current plant list available within the next few days and have hundreds of different kinds most available to trade in limited quantities.

I'd especially like to hear your recommendations regarding ground-cover type Sedums 2" or under.

Current list of Pacific series in my collection :

Pacific Blazing Star
Pacific Blue Ice
Pacific Country Cousins
Pacific Deep
Pacific Devil's Food
Pacific Feather Power
Pacific Hazy Embers
Pacific Hep
Pacific Jordan
Pacific Mauve
Pacific Opal
Pacific Plum Fuzzy
Pacific Red Tide
Pacific Shadows (darker) (one of these two is likely miss-named)
Pacific Shadows (redder)
Pacific Teddy

Thank you and happy trading.

You have some I don't have and I have some you don't have. Check my trade link at the bottom of this post and see if you would like a trade.

Just tell me what you'd like, give me a mailing address, and I'll send 'em out. Then, just send me anything I don't have (I'm easy).

Kate, give me a bit of time and I'll do that.

Twit, I wonder if either of your S. Pacific Shadows matches mine. Mine never goes really green.

Neither of them ever get green. I recently moved them side by side to see if they might be the same over time. One labeled "darker" has a grayer cast to it, kind of like it had a very thin mist of black paint sprayed over it. The other does not have that. Both have similar shades of red, just one has that smokey darkness. They are from different sources. I like to do that sometime to verify I have the right plant, but this happened in this case by accident.

Do you have any offsets to spare? I wouldn't mind growing them next to mine and see if there's a match. I can check tomorrow, but I don't think mine has that grayish cast.

Let me check. You want one of each? They might be the same, just coming from a different environment. I typically try to grow them side by side for a couple of years to find out if they are the same if the name is the same but from different sources.

Yes, one of each if you can. I'll plant them and mine all in a row in the same place and we'll see what happens.

I do know that minor changes in location can make a big difference. I have S. Casa in a bowl and it is bright red, and I have it in a terrace just a few feet away and it isn't nearly as red, yet they are both from the same mother plant so I know they are genetically the same. Same with S. More Honey, S. Magical and others.

My 'Pacific Shadows' has a grayish cast to it. I will try to post a picture later

That makes sense to me, given the name. I didn't notice the difference between sources until I moved them to a side-by-side position. Hope its just growing conditions.

FINALLY! Photos of my noids. They just be noids, but will anybody trade for them??? NOID trades are fine...

It's my first time!

Exciting, isn't it!!

YES, it is! It's my FIRST named mama!

I'm still looking to trade noids for noids....
The only specific thing I need is ANY SEMP that stays red year roiund, noid or not.
Other than that, any semp will satisfy me for now...

Got a project in mind that wants lots of inexpensive semps.......
Noids are fine!

Congratulation critter grandma.
Those first semp grandchicks are always exciting. : )

Did you all know there is a raffle/that is not a raffle, is going on? The thread "May 2012 Sempervivum raffle!" in Site Talk forum
