This year I have bought this kind of Sempervivum 'Cmíral Yellow "(20 pieces)
I wonder what will be the spring colors. And have a nice yellow. No big small rosette. Unfortunately no photos yet. This year has brought a lot of drive.

It was interesting to note that these yellow plants flowered approximately 14 days earlier than the normal green ones. I grew the seeds that were harvested in the spring of 1981st From the seedlings, I selected new plants, the color varied from dark green Of which through light green to yellow-orange. I have selected 10 plants for further study. Some of them were sent to my friend, Ed Skrocki, in the United States, and, through him, the plants were distributed to others and then sent to Great Britain. "
