How to list in database. Desert Bloom 2 is already there. My tag only has Desert Bloom.

This one has the prettiest colors, deep pinky purple blue.

Linda that is pretty! Did you get an answer to your question?? I usually notify Lynn and Chris by doing the at sign and no space then their ATP name (just in case you didn't know how to make those links in the posts)
@valleylynn @goldfinch4 @chickhill

Oh and it is a great looking semp!

Thanx for the call Greg. Let's see if we can get some help from @banker07

Linda, I don't thing your lovely semp is the Desert 2 semp. Yours is looking more like this one. http://www.armstronggarden.com...

we have an entry at our homepage from Desert Bloom:

http://www.sempervivum-liste.d...

Erwin Geiger got it some years ago from the US;

but I'm not sure if it is the same clone......

there are some confusions about Desert Bloom, Desert Bloom 2, Kreb, Kreb 2, Krebs and Krebs 2;

that are some names used in the US for varities with unknown origin and there is no clear correlation between names and varieties;

sorry - but I can't help much....it's a US-specific problem I can't analyse from germany;

Peter

@JungleShadows, @valleylynn
Any thoughts on this?

It seems as though Peter is correct on the confusion.
Here is what I find under all of the above names.
'Krebs Desert Rose' / Sempervivum 'Krebs' http://www.monrovia.com/plant-...
'Krebs 2 http://www.santarosagardens.co...
'Desert Bloom' http://www.treadwellplants.com...
'Desert Bloom 2' http://www.ecgrowers.com/Sempe...

These all look like they could be the same sempervivum.

Mine says Desert bloom and I bought mine from the frog people.

I believe all of these are Desert Bloom. All the photos I see of Desert Bloom and Desert Bloom 2 are even using the same photos.

@chickhill Linda & Julia put your Desert Bloom here. Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum 'Desert Bloom')
I have changed the name in the database to S. 'Desert Bloom' and added Desert Bloom 2 as a 'Sold as'.

Sorry that I dropped the ball on investigating this.

I brought three or four of those Desert Blooms to Lynn's during Clinic Weekend earlier this spring. They were part of the box of semps that I brought to share. I just checked on my own DB yesterday, it is a purty one .

The photos of it are lovely. I can see it goes through some pretty color changes.

Believe I got that from you then Connie! It is a beauty, thanks! No worries Lynn, you were working during this time, you are the best.

I need to see photos throughout the year on your Desert Bloom, so we can see the different color changes.

Not today, the wind is blowing out of the east and baby is it cold out there. Don't laugh Chris. Very strange wind, is coming right at the house, usually comes up from the south.

We also are getting cold winds today. Had a very mild frost this morning, not enough to bother the blooming plants yet.
Wonder if I can brave the cold wind to go out into the sunshine, and take some photos?

Baby it is cold outside here .. temps not to top 17 degrees today and then stay there till about Monday when we should get above freezing again. Arctic blast, bah humbug

And I need to get out to my study tonight. Brrrrrr. If I dress for it I cannot get behind the wheel of the car. or move much at all.

I know that feeling Marilyn. Those of us with short legs have to sit way to close to the steering wheel.

Keep warm Marilyn!

Marilyn I was thinking of you - I saw on the news that CO dropped 20 degrees in 15mins, possibly some type of record - crazy brrr stay warm is right!!!

Hate to tell you BUT it was so warm here today I worked outside all afternoon on my "new" semp. bed. It will be shaded from noon on.
Yeah, I know another BLAST coming

Thanks Bev and Greg for your kind thoughts..
There is now a couple of inches of snow on top of the pots. That should insulate them a bit against the cold.

I am thankful to have made it back home, although it was tricky in spots, but few people on the roads.
Think I will stay in now until it gets a bit warmer. (I was looking for an excuse. )

Linda, enjoy the warm while you can. Hope your freeze is not too bad.
