Heya! this is a spin-off from ValleyLynn's sale posted here in this forum,
The thread "Sempervivum For Sale" in
Classifieds and Group Buys forum
I figure as long as I'm ordering, I may as well see who wants to order with me. I can bring plants to the fall swap (September 10), and we can save on shipping, especially if you want just a couple of plants.
The list of available cultivars is here
http://garden.org/lists/view/v...
A large flat rate box should hold 30-40 sets of starts. Lynn sends a couple of "chicks" (smaller offshoots) of each variety ordered, $3 plus shipping (figure 50 cents to $1 each for shipping). Mature rosettes not only would be more costly to send, they also tend to bloom & die, sometimes before producing a good round of "chicks."
People on the other thread have posted some very lovely pictures of what they've received. She is an excellent enabler, making extras from her collection available at a bargain price.
I'll warn you right now, her enthusiasm is contagious, and her semp photos are gorgeous... don't blame me if you start by thinking "1 maybe 2" and end up ordering 6!
Post on this thread to discuss what plants you're interested in... Put your list in your first post on this thread and edit the post to make changes or additions. When you've finalized your order, please edit your post one last time and put "FINAL ORDER" and then your list. You can pay me at the swap (or possibly before Lynn ships, depending on how many you want and whether or not you've participated in one of my group buys before). I will pay Lynn.
Like any group buy, you are participating at your own risk. Lynn has a stellar reputation, but if she's abducted by aliens after cashing my check, you'll still owe me for your share.
Let the fun begin!
