Hi

It's my first post here (in bad English , I'm sorry)
I'm a Belgian breeder of botanical Sempervivum. I breed essentially botanic species and a few cultivars.
I like to walk in mountains in South France for observe Houseleeks

Hello and

Welcome Chromaphyto and thank you very much for sharing with us these photos. I enjoyed looking at the photo of sp. Hrvatska!

Hi Chromaphyto, and to ATP. Wonderful photos, and a beautiful seedling of heuffelii glabrum Debar Road PH 220. The contrast of pale green edging on the dark colored leaves is lovely.

Many Thanks for your welcome

Chromaphyto where do you get your semps from? Do you actually get to go to those places and find them? What lovely plants, especially the calcareum.

Hello Chromaphyto! Welcome and thanks for photos!!! Yes I have the same question for you as VallyLynn...
and also do you collect the sempervivum or just take photos??
I agree with webesemps also - love that Croatian sempervivum!
Thank you so much!
Cheers from Seattle WA USA!

Thanks for your messages ;

I take pictures in the nature (see my website www.sempervivum.legtux.org , in french only) but I take also a few rossettes when it's possible (if the plant is not vulnerable, not in danger).
I go in vacation in South France, in the Mount Ventoux area,where I meet often the beautiful S. calcareum, very common in this region.

I swap also many plants with enthusiasts breeders from France, Italy, Germany, Slovenia, ...)

Welcome to ATP!
Great pics Chromaphyto, thanks for sharing!

Ok, everyone.......take a look at chroma's website. Use google translate . Very lovely photos!!

Sandi, I have always used google tranlate, but it won't work for me know. Don't know why?

Lynn, it worked for me earlier on that site. However, I just tried it and it no longer works for me either.

Welcome to ATP Chromaphyto! And thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures!
