Sorry, Julie. I checked back thru things and found I missed putting Lisa on the list and thought I had already sent to you (as there have been 4 boxes so far.) so it will be you and Otter ( @otter ) that get the net ones unless I hear from Kent.

I appreciate you all finding homes for my extras. I would not want to throw them out.

Wanted to mention that packing a box takes me a little time, so the semps you receive will have been out of sunlight for at least a few days. Therefore, please be sure to protect them from bright sun after arrival so that they can adjust. I've recently learned that semps can get sunburned if moved to a brighter location than what they are used to. (When I moved most of my collection, some ended up with too much sun...)

Box 5 is ready to go. It is probably the largest box of semps I have ever shipped and hence, postage will be larger than normal. If shipping to the west coast, could be $20.00 or more. As usual, the box contains varying numbers of the plants named but I've tried to give some nice types and variety. This one is an "instant" collection.

Box 5 contains:

No ID - Could be Emerald Empress (and is very similar to that one)
Orostachys furosei (just a little bit to get you going)
Sedum sexangulare
Ford's Spring
Fuego
No ID - large, green tectorum, but shorter leaves and more compact than what is normally seen or Emerald Giant
Hausmanii
Mt Hood
Commander Hay (likes to bloom a lot, but is prolific too)
Red Cobweb
tectorum Andorra (a small, nice tect.)
Sedum dasyphyllum Major
Jovibarba heuffelii 'Randolph' cutting
arach x pittonii
Silver Thaw
Peggy
Mate
Crimsonette (small name but very large semp)
Clara Noyes
Jovibarba sobolifera ssp hirtella
Jovibarba arenaria x hirta f/Belansky
Blue Moon
Red Beauty
Olivette
Jovibarba hirta 'Hedge Hog'

Julia gets first choice and if she doesn't want it, then Otter, then SleepyStar, then EarthChild since I haven't been able to reach Kent.

Current list is:
Julia/Springcolor (shipping today)
Kent/hawaiiplantgo
Otter
SleepyStar
EarthChild
Debbie

Hi, Twitcher, I'm new to this forum and to semps (actually I've been a lurker and Drooling ing over the photos for quite a while) . Do you have any more boxes? I wasn't sure about getting any from you, because I could not get my soil right for the few plants that I have. So, far chick grit has been working great and I'm ready to try again.

OK Julia!

Debbie, I will add you to the list. I'm doing the boxes one or two at a time, so can't tell how many I will have until I get there. Hope that's OK. Just keep watching this thread.

Got them all planted out in flats and labeled. I'll get a picture in a few days so they can settle a bit. That was one big fun job!!!
