Ok Everyone...i am really stumped. Grandiflorum is fuzzy and this is not.
If you go back to the earliest posts in sedums.net the name was grandiflora Keston. but can it possibly be a grandiflora hybrid and not be fuzzy. I found a reference to a Sempervivum Grandiflora Keston in an old garden magazine from 1906 so maybe this has been out there that long with an incorrect name on it.
Greg now that we have little chance of ever knowing the correct name I would like to send you something with a correct name on it. Or I can send you one of the green sports and we will name it ourselves.
I am going to see if i can get a "Keston" to flower. It has not done that for me since I had a big clump of it and I actually think that the flowers may have been yellow.
It's too bad the German lists do not include pictures.
I will ask Wayne about it but I know he doesn't keep records of where he gets plants and he has had this one for years.
