Wow, you are fast Julia. When I opened my box and took all 19 pkgs out, I was so overwhelmed. I didn't do anything except look at them. There were so many I wasn't sure what to do. I started planting them in individual pots but some varieties needed two pots, almost three. And then I took half of them out of the pots and planted them in flats instead so they could spread out. Whew, that was too big a job for me. I am still recovering... Big Grin
Again, Twitch, thanks much and I hope you received my envelope with all the "cash"... Whistling

I'm glad 'cause i just hate the harvesting and packing part of this. But I've been on the receiving end many times, so i know its worth it. So many here have been very kind and generous to me, so I am happy I can contribute to keeping this trend going.

Box 6 shipped today. Box 7 contents are drying and should ship Thursday or Friday.

Alex, I don't know if I will get to you or not, but will add you to the list.

Everybody, if you are on the list, it is your responsibility to t-mail me your mailing address. If I have a box ready to ship, and the next in line has not supplied a mailing address, I will ship to the next person on the shipping list that has provided a mailing address. I will not use your address for anything but to send the plants.

They should color up more for you next year. I've noticed that my plants usually don't get as colorful as others, say Lynn's do. of course, she has a green thumb and the Oregon climate to help. The one label should read "Red Beauty" not "read beauty". Sorry for the handwriting on the labels. Note that Red Beauty was likely my first named semp. It not flashy, but truly is a beauty. I've probably had it for 20 years now or more. Can't really remember when I got it for sure or where.

They have changed in just the short time I've had them. Silly me, I wrote that wrong. I was working fast to get so many planted. Again thanks for doing this.

Please note that I am not sure of the names for the Orostachys. Also for the sedum pot, the top plant is Sedum sexangulare. The bottom plant is not as shown. I must have mislabeled a bag. but it also looks like they did not survive the trip.

Thanks Greg! Smiling

No problem Twit, I'll put question marks for the Oros and fix the sedum on top. I'm not sure the sedum on the bottom will survive either, they were pretty dried out on arrival but figure they deserve a chance.
