JungleShadows said:There's an amusing story on 'Streaker'. When Ed sent in a picture of that plant to he Sempervivum Society Peter Mitchell didn't believe it and said "It must be an Aeonium". Of course that was really silly as Aeoniums would have NEVER survived the winter in OH!
I was surprised it is still around as it is such a slow grower. Even Ed, who could really grow them well, only had a few plants after several years.
