springcolor said:Love the velvet ones too. Bev your avatar is beautiful. Do any of you find that the fuzzy ones rot easier than others?

Know what's sad? After the move, I have no idea where that little avatar semp (with offsets peeking out) is now located!!!! Gee, I hope I didn't leave it behind for the new owners of the previous house...

I find that most of my fuzzies don't but probably because most of mine were protected under house eaves or now on balconies where the rain hardly/don't reach them.

My semps are mostly on the balcony floor and if they have watermarks, I'm too inflexible to bend down and see them...Oh, my aching back and knee joints!

Springcolor, I love the watermark ones too!! Zulu is a fun one for that!

Yes, it is.

So... where does one go to get all of these lovely varieties? I'm aware of online sources Perennial Obsessions, Mountain Crest Gardens, Simply Succulents and SMG Succulents. But they have very few of the mentioned cultivars. Do you have to find a semp show? Or find someone and beg for a division? Or is this one of those things where immediate gratification isn't possible?

Next Sat. Sept. 12 the Salem Hardy Plant Society Fall Sale will be going on from 9 - 3pm.
It will be at the Polk County Fairgrounds Hwy 99 Rickreall, Oregon. A few of us will be there amongst the plant sale tables to either photograph, peruse or purchase . I think Perennial Obsessions will make an appearance there and they will have some really neat semps to show and sell. Bring your list, Tim or you will miss out!!!

Yes Tim, do come. Now how will we know who you are?
And bring your list like Bev suggested.
Which ones are you looking for?

Does anyone have any on this list that they have and are interested in selling? I am finding them hard to find also.

Some of my must-haves include....

Pepito


Spanish Dancer


Viking


Jet


Strider


Unicorn


Pacific Blue Ice

Hi Lynn,
I still have a very large plant of the Persephone you gave me back in April! GOOD News - It has produced a few small offsets! I'll count them tomorrow morning and report back to you all. Lynn, I'll send you some once they get large enough to pull off the mama!
Hope that makes the loss of your blooming hen a bit easier...LOL!
Chris

Oh Chris, how wonderful. I am so glad I sent that with you this spring. That would be wonderful. How is the experiment going with Grunrand?

Which ones are you looking for Susan?

I will totally be there! I must remember to visit an ATM before I go. Thanks for the heads up!
