Good Morning, All!

I shared this semp earlier this week. It's a NOID I have in my wall and I've really taken a liking to it. I want to identify it! I was looking back through my old photos and confirmed from the date the second photo was taken that this was one from my first order of semps in the fall of 18. Here is my list of semps from that order:
Aglow
Allison
Apple Blossom
Green Ice
Silver Jubilee
Mount Ventoux

I'm almost positive this is Allison, due to the narrower leaves, more cilia, and colors.

What do you all think. I'll add the other picture I have from last spring.

Allison-
Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum 'Allison')

Here is one of Lynn's pictures of Allison.

Good morning Jesse. What a sweet little semp.
I agree, it does look like 'Allison'.
Aglow - not
Allison - winner Hurray!
Apple Blossom - not
Green Ice - not
Silver Jubilee - not
Mount Ventoux - and very definitely not.

Hurray! Thank You!

I will confirm for sure when I see my first flowers. I really love this little semp. It didn't make it my bed, but that little chick I plucked off and stuffed in the wall sure likes its spot. Lovey dubby
