Well i couldn't resist and using the recommended supplier thread i have gone all out and ordered fives semps from Mendlenursery.co.uk

I've gone for the following purely based on aesthetics:

Adelaar


Bold Chick


Bowles Variety


Calcareum Greenii


Amanda


I'll be sure to keep this thread updated once they arrive so we can see how they compare to stock photos.

Those are beautiful! to ATP.

Nice selection there Dave only another four thousand four hundred left to collect Hope you've your compost and labels organised and remember the greatest enemy of semps is wet boggy soil . This time last year I had about six or seven semps now I'm up to about eighty or so

Paddy you are as bad as me!!! I had no idea! AND I live in an apartment so I outgrew planting space here and asked my friends for some of their yard space - really I did!! Anyway your plants are lovely David!

Hi David,

Congratulations Now you purchased semps A to C, when will you start searching for semps D to F??????

Oh Michael, are you egging David on?

David I can't wait to see your first baby photos of your new semps.

Nice assortment David! Yup, this is only the beginning.......

Yup at this point i'm purely basing my decisions on eye candy.

Out of interest has anyone ordered from mendle nursery before, just wondered how long delivery takes.

I think @PiaLouiseSourvi, Kate @Eviesmummy and @Paddy have. Maybe they can give you information.

Hello everyone. I've been super busy with my plants lately. Pruning indoor ones before they start hibernating for winter!
I will go take pictures of my Semps tomorrow morning for you all

Good to see you Pia.

Hi Dave , I've only bought semps from Fernwood.co.uk and Sempervivum.de a German site . Delivery only takes a few days whether by courier or post office . The best part of buying semps online is they keep for weeks and will spring back to life as soon as planted .

Hi Pia good to see you again ,can't wait to see your updates .

Hi Pia. I am so looking forward to your new semp photos. I bet they are coloring up nicely this time of year.

Pia, you say you are pruning your indoor plants. I'm wondering if you grow any semps indoors?

No I haven't had much luck with Semps indoors they go very leggy for me so I leave them outside.
