We all know that if you don't remove all those dead and dry leaves from the bottom of your semps that they will rot when it turns to wet weather. This year I was not as diligent as I usually am and therefore have a lot of messes to clean up.

Because it is so wet and cold right now I decided to follow my friend Bev's lead and bring then plants inside to work on them.

So far this is who I have done.

Looking good Melissa! I should probably do some cleanup myself, I've been worse about that kind of attention to detail this last year than in years past.

Surprisingly 'Hualalai' looks good even in the before photo. Nice work Melissa.
Now I really want to be home working on my semps.
Thank you for the encouragement.

There is more to come. Next up will be Lynn's Rose Gold along with a couple of others.

Can't wait to see what yours looks like.
Rifka has been looking beautiful all winter so far.

Lynn, I am almost embarrassed to post the pics of Rose Gold. It is really BAD. But I cleaned it all up!!

My Rifka is also looking very good and I just posted a new pic to the data base.

Oh my, Rose Gold is looking pretty bad. Mine was looking really nice when I left for Virginia. Wonder what it is looking like now, after all the heavy rains?
I saw your new photo of 'Rifka', it is looking very healthy. I will check mine when I get home next week to see if it is still showing dark colors.
