So, the garden walk was a kind of non-event, not many people showed. Those who did were very appreciative and complimentary, so it was okay.

I've got some questions this morning.

First, my NOID arachnoideum seems to have taken some water damage. Not sure how clearly it shows in the photo, but the central rosette and one on the near edge look a bit worse for wear. Question is should I cut those out? Will the "rot" spread? Or can I leave it alone and just see how it all does? (My preference is the latter because I doubt I could cut those out without damaging the surrounding plant more than I want to!) It is a sunny day today fortunately.

Second, look at the color variation in these two pictures (which I just observed yesterday, and it's really lovely!)

I've been considering this one plant but now I think it is actually two, and different ones. They came from this pot I got on sale last August I think:

That was labeled "Sempervivum Mix" and contained a scrap of Oddity, and the rest you see all looks the same. Some of that "rest" went into Little Rock and the rest of the rest got potted up. I transplanted it not long ago to give it more room, treating it as one plant. But now....

What do you think?
