  • Posted by banker07 (Germany) on Oct 13, 2013 6:52 AM concerning plant:
    this plant is not the real S. 'Chivalry'; we have had this plant in german collections too;

    in 12/2010 the breeder told Erwin Geiger how his cultivar has to look like:

    "S. 'Chivalry' is a velvety red, sort of like an improved more narrow-leaved version of 'Cleveland Morgan'."

    the wrong plant shown here looks very similar to Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum x christii 'Collecteur Anchisi'); in germany we all placed it to the NOIDs nevertheless;

    in 08/2012 we found a plant in an old collection which seems to be the right one; but it has to be checked around the year and presented to the breeder for a final conclusion;
