Because of the intense heat of the Colorado Summer, I needed to keep my new sempervivum plantings in the shade.

About the best place for them was in the dappled shade just outside my front door, under a big tree. Since I moved them there they are doing OK,
Although the heat is pretty high in the afternoons. It seemed the best place for a nusery school for Semps.

I am hoping they become established so I can place them in other spots around my townhouse.

The advantage to this arrangement is that they are all in their own little beds and I am beginning now to be able to identify them by name.

Perhaps I can create a planter with several of of their offspring in the spring.

I am sure they will play nice together. Hilarious!
