Charter ATP Member I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database!
I was out just past dawn this morning and took some pictures of Gazelle. Not the best photos due to rushing and lighting issues, but I wanted to share them with you. Gazelle is one of the few semps that can produce a yellow color. During the early spring, it really shows off, yellow centers, shading to mottled red, then green. It stays this way for a few weeks, then becomes less distinct. Nothing finer in the semp world for early spring showing off in my opinion. (Sorry about the slug damage, they get out of control at times here). Pictures don't do it justice. And, yes, that is moss growing in my semp pot.

I may have one or two offsets that I can be talked into trading this year. Its a slow increaser for me but an easy, non-demanding plant otherwise.
