Bev! Sounds like its time for you to expand out into other cold succulents/Alpine plants!!! They're out there, but if you're not in those cold zones it can be tricky! I do love my semps (and its a new love - only since last March, how and why, I couldn't tell you - so many of them look like lotus flowers or something, I love the ones that have a good symmetry, at least that's how it began
) I also just love succulents! I visited southern CA a couple of years ago and saw all these huge succulents in peoples yards and gardens, and they didn't even seem like they were working that hard and keeping them, and it was winter and I got home to chilly wet Seattle and I said "I need the warmth of some succulents"
I have tender and cold succulents, I joined this website in November...its been fun, and oh so dangerous!!
The semp folks are a terrible influence for someone like myself that already has a weakness
Cheers
