This beauty just sat there for almost 1 year. When she took off amazing growth. I can't get down low enough to show all the chicks popping out between the rows of leaves.

She's a real beauty.

Looks great Linda! You're doing something right!!!

Wow! That's a beauty.

Nice one!!

Very Pretty!!!

thank you all. Never dreamed I would become such an addict

Well, you're in good company here!

I am learning new things on here.
I am constantly re-doing my beds, enlarging, dividing, swapping out or putting in a new plant.

I feel like once you begin to pay attention to these plants they begin to draw you in!

Don't remember why I looked them up on the net The rest is history

Linda that is so funny!! I have gone hog wild so to speak around cold hardy plants!! But especially any cold hardy rosette plants! And I love all the variety of sedum!

I have learned more here than I ever thought was imaginable. I started liking them 25 yrs ago when a neighbor gave me some from her garden. I went online and ordered some and forgot about them. My old house was perfect environment. Not too much sun and not too little sun. They multiplied and I thought I had all I needed.

I moved and they all died so I started to do research and I stumbled upon this sight and realized I KNEW NOTHING......NOTHING AT ALL. Plus in that time these little jewels have been developed into new territory. They are no longer a few Houseleeks of yesteryear.

So a new obsession has begun. I give many thanks to Lynn, Cliff, Bev and so many others that were so sweet to share with me and get me hooked again.

You guys are like little drug dealers on the corner though.

Cinta - I SOOOO agree with you there!! These forums can be quite dangerous for the faint of heart and if you have any weakness at all towards these plants - FORGET it, you'll be hooked! And I love that now I have such variety in my garden! People walk by all the time and they say 2 things - hmmm interesting what are those plants? And Wow your roses are amazing they smell so good! haha and I can't take any credit for the Roses, they are some old type rose with an amazing scent that won't quit! And all I have to do is prune them way back each February! Easy!!

Since I saw how big some could get I wanted a large one. 7+" for me so far this year Emerald Empress, Sanford, More Honey, and Blue Boy. Those have all been in same spot a year.

Greg I have a weakness for all plants are is my problem.

Linda I like the big ones too

Cinta we are all so glad you are hooked on sempervivum. You are such a great part of our community. And I am with you, I love almost all plants, and that can be dangerous.

It's easy to get hooked on these! And also that we're happy you're here Cinta!

on Chris' point about Cinta ...
