for informations or for plants?

all known information-sources have been integrated in our database - including a lot of original breeder-lists and often with direct contact to the breeder;

the two best german semps-gardener with online-shops are

Erwin Geiger - http://www.semper-vivum.de/

and

Volkmar Schara - http://www.sempervivumgarten.d...

and the second best german sempervivum-dictionary is from Horst Diehm - http://www.semperhorst.de/Inha...

Oh Lynn, what do you think about the need to start a semp international thread so as to not lose the above info?
Of course you were so efficient about moving Kevin's definition of semp morphology in a new thread and I was looking for it all over the old threads. Duh!

Oh, Thank you, Peter, so much!!!

We will all benefit from the great information contained in those sites!!

Yes, I agree Janice. That is why I have given it it's very own thread. Now we won't loose the valuable information Peter has given us.

If you haven't been to his site yet, I just want to let you know that you can use Google translate to read the site in English.

I use the site almost daily and I agree, Lynn, it is a repository of the most wonderful Semp and Jovi information.

You had provided us with the link to it in the Reference thread.

Yes, it's been there all along, I just think that people don't notice it.
So this thread will be devoted to what is going on in Europe.

Could you add some info to make the title a bit more descriptive --- ie "Peter Dieckmann - Discuss what is going on in Europe"

How does that look Marilyn?

Great, I like it!!! Easier to search when we want to find it again.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I've said this before but maybe not to you Peter - one hybridizer that I'm really enjoying is Sue Thomas (UK) she has some amazing semp colors!

in germany we have discovered here in 2011 - a very good semps-friend from england mailed us the breeder-list with photos;

wow - all german semps-fans are amazed;

since then we all tried to get as many of them as possible into our collections;

there are about 250 varieties...and I only have 40 of them

I try to get the ok from Sue Thomas - than I may show her photos here;

Oh yes please that'd be great!!

admin or mod please help....

may I show photos here in the forum because it is not open for the public even if I don't have the permission;

than I could start with nice photos of this amazing varieties; I think a question of permission might take a long time...

I think they should be your own photos...but we'll wait for someone with more info!

We can't post any photos except our own in the threads, unless permission is provided.
The best way is to enter them in the database, with permission from the owner of the photos. Credit can be given with each photo, to the person owning the photo.
We have many photos in the database from Erwin.
Like this one from the database. If you click on this photo it takes you to the entry and you will see he is given credit for the photo. It even has a clickable link to his website.


If Sue Thomas would give person for the use of the photos we could do the same for her. Does she have a website?

no - Sue has no website;

and my contact only works thrue my english semps-friend; that won't be easy....but I try;

I so hope it works. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Here is her address:
