This thread has some real staying power... good idea, Bev. Besides large rosette sizes, I'm also interested in large colony sizes. Does anyone have any unusually large colonies? I know I don't.

I did read Gwen Kalaidis's book "Hardy Succulents" in which she encouraged her readers to try making large drifts of individual cultivars. So I thought... why not... and took my favorite Calcareum (NOID resembling 'Fire Dragon') and took the excess chicks that were popping out of the seams and planted them next to a footpath where I grow a few other vagabond semps.
If these grow like their parent... it should one day be an interesting sight.

So... any oceans of semps out there?
