Please post pics and names if you have them of your mostly non green Sempervivum.

That's a good one for sure, Vicky. Here is a link to the sempervivum database. You can browser and check out pictures of the ones that catch your eye. I also love to browse on mountain crest gardens website.

Couple favorites of mine from this year are Starshine and Lilac Time. Big Six-0 is a great dark red.
