valleylynn said:Tim you are very bad, very bad. Where is your 'Fuego'? Do I see tiny offsets laying on their sides?

No, no Fuego to be found. I was just hinting that my garden was in desperate need of this particular cultivar. I was totally jealous of yours.

We'll have to see how many are out there come April 23.

Tim that is a great pic! Do you know what semp is in the middle of the picture - love the shape, reminds me of Rita Jane

Tim you will be happy to see the very big fir tree in Kevin's yard. It throws needles on several of his seedling beds, and they seem to love it.

It is Rita Jane. You have an eye for the ladies. I agree, lovely shape.

Great call Greg.

That one is one that stands out for sure!! Mine isn't doing great, but it'll live, Tim yours looks wonderful!

That is very good advice Lynn. I have been moving the pots around to give them more sunshine. Tonight will be the first night the temps are going to below freezing ~27* F which is very unusual and very late in the fall/winter season. I am not sure if I should just cover them or bring them in the garage.
Tim , I like the idea of landscaping in a pot...I can handle those kind of rocks!
Greg,those are beautiful pics! I especially like Hausmanii and like the comments on the others...it helps in making the wish list.

Very nice looking bed Tim! I get pine needles in one of my gardens too, and yes, I use tweezers to get them out. I don't like the look of them and when they dry out they stab you when working in the garden. Oh, and sometimes they break off in your fingers too.

Anna, semps love the cold. You can leave them outside. We would love to see some photos of them. The last year of weather has been very odd for most of us.

Ouch, break off in your finger?

Winter picture

Just look at that yellow coloring. Snarfie do you know which semp that is?

I was taking a look at 'Sassy Frass' this morning and it I thought it had changed considerably since about a month ago, so I snapped a picture to compare. Here's a side-by-side comparison. Not much change really, is there? Oh well. Maybe a bit more red, a bit lighter yellow, a bit more open rosette. I'll try again next month.

Oh yes, I see the change coming. Great comparison Tim.

I was worried to expose them to the cold because I had potted them up from the your semp sale earlier in the fall. I imagine the roots have formed by now
Photos are a coming!

We love photos Anna. Can't wait to see them.

That is a pretty one!

Anna, wait until you see it in another 2 months.

This is my first post with my new phone. I don't like the way this is set up. Looking for a new camera.

What happened to your camera Julia.
Love the photos, but not as sharp as your other photos. Pacific Red Hawk is interesting.
