By summer time it is green, it does lose the reddish brown color. I think that was the most unusual crested form I've had on the semps.
This sempervivum is noted for a propensity towards cresting. Wonder what it will do this year?
As you can see in the spring photo (darker coloring) it was just one rosette that crested.
I should check on the colony tomorrow, to see if there are any signs of cresting for this year.
