Aww neat! I missed this going up - family has been passing around the seasonal nastiness for the last week, hopefully we're coming out of it! Grumbling

Thanks for the kind words all. I love experimenting with things like this - I only wish I had more time and space! I have dreams of actual "garden tables" laid out full of little pots and cuttings and things. Someday! Big Grin

@pirl: I've had terrible luck with the Ogon. Like just dropping it in my ground (even in a couple different soil types) seems to kill it. I have one plant left that's just barely hanging on (the one I took the clippings from), but I'm expecting it to finish shriveling any day.

@valleylynn: Thanks, wouldn't even have though to submit if you hadn't suggested *Blush* Smiling You know, my palmerii started taking off probably the day or two after the rain started. My original plant and the clippings! Multiple bits of new growth on both in the span of 1-3 days. Maybe it needs more moisture and shade, or maybe it's just a seasonal thing? I wish I had more to compare, but I haven't seen any in stock in a while.

@Blondmyk I didn't have any at the start of the summer! I seem to have gotten obsessed. Or something. Whistling Whenever I stop in at a nursery and see a sedum (or semp, but those are rarer - everyone around here has the same plants!) I don't have I'm hard pressed not to pick it up and find a spot for it.

For those that are curious, here's what the plants look like currently (a week or two on from when I composed the post).

(Palmerii is 3rd from the right on the bottom above).

I had (another - OK actually I had 3, all right next to each other start dropping on the same day... I transplanted them all in 3 different locations and one is doing great, one is just about dead and one got chopped up for science) Linda Windsor start dying on me so I tried to salvage that one with cuttings (bottom right, above), but it doesn't look like it's going to take (no science today! Angry ).
