Tee ~ beautiful photos! I am really drawn to the beautiful colors on the sempervivums. Do they retain that color year around or only from the cold like some succulents?
I have found the Hesperaloe parviflora is cold hardy (when kept dry). I have one that I started from seed and it is sooooo slow growing. I got discouraged and bought another in a larger container. Both are in this raised bed but I would love to inspire blooms. Has yours ever bloomed for you?
Now on the Cacti ~ I'll only admire them from afar. I don't like thorns/stickers much after living in Arizona. In fact, if that pretty agave lived with me, I'd be grooming those wicked spines with a nail clipper. lol
Looking through the sempervivum photos I realize my sister in law in Kansas City had given me some. She called them Hen n Chicks. They didn't survive my east TX care. Not sure which one they were or why they met their demise...
