It has come to the attention of both Chris and me that we have an error in the database for Sempervivum 'Mount Usher'.
The discovery came about when one of our members (sandnsea2) posted a new photo of a very lovely semp that did not match what was already in the database. While researching to find which one was correct I found that sandnsea2 had the correctly identified 'Mount Usher'.

Thank you so much Janice for entering such lovely photos of this semp, and helping in clearing up an error in the database.

This is such a great time to discuss how we can clear up errors, especially when we have all be trading back and forth. This can happen to any of us. So when we find something we are unsure of lets work together to track down the correct information.

Anyone receiving S. 'Mount Usher' from me or Chris, please mark it as a NOID.
We do know the source of this semp. We are contacting the nursery and asking them to remove it from their list of plants.
The below photos are not S. 'Mount Usher'

As you can see, it is quite different.

Chris, maybe you can put a few of your photos in this thread?

This is what Mount Usher should look like:


We are now open for discussion. Smiling
