Greg,

Thanks for the images. To me the winter colors are never as quite as bright as they are in the spring. The one exception is one I named 'Michael' that was a brilliant raspberry in winter but was more like 'Lilac Time' in the summer.

You have 'Emerson's Giant'. I have always wondered if it was the same as 'Emerald Giant'. I do have both now but the 'Emerson's Giant' was a plant from the UK and hasn't gotten to the bigger size as of yet.

Speaking of, what is the largest semp that you grow? This is an open question, not just to Greg. Of course I'm obsessed with making some ones at least a foot across. 'Dark Cloud' and 'Plumb Rose' both get enormous for me here in Oregon but they weren't as big when I grew them in MA. (And yes I have crosses between them in the seed pots just planted.) Anyway get out your rulers (and no nuns invited..)

Kevin
