Thank you Lynn, Tim, Greg. Colucci, Italian name?
I go hunting of Semps since thirty years and I have many photos of them that I would have the pleasure to share with you. But I am a Jurassic women and I don't Know if I will be able to post the photos. If you wish, you can go to "Cactus & co forum". We have a space devoted to wild italian succulents: "Indigene & Intruse". You can see many photos of Semps and of their environment. I have also wrote some articles for Cactus & co journal. They are in Italian and in English language. One of this: "The mistery of yellow Sempervivum" is on-line. You must look for: "Il giallo del semprevivo giallo" and you find it (in FAB Gruppo Flora Alpina Bergamasca home page). Dowload free.
If you any question about Italian taxa, I will happy to reply you, but please excuse my english.
Bye
Mariangela
