Yes, that's the same plant and very unusual.

That's really wild Twit. Can't wait to see it in another month or so. Lynn, I think you must have the record for semps with most babies. Wow, arach ssp. tomentosum is loaded!

It's good to know that all is not lost when they get damaged.

But still far from the production of Purdy's Big Red last year Chris. Will be interesting to see what tomentosum ends up with when it finishes producing this year. : )

Your right Jacki, it gives us hope for the plants that are badly damaged or appear dead. Our slogan she be 'Never give up'.

Twit, would love to know what it's final count is when it gets through producing this time around.

My latest arach - 'Spumanti'. It's a little pale because I just got it in the ground today. Fantastic webbing on this one!

Chris I can't wait to see that one in a mature clump. Did you get it from Wild Ginger Farm?

Yup, from Wild Ginger Farm.

'Silver Olympic' is developing a strange chick.

Quadruplets, how wonderful. I had one of my S. 'Maigret' do that last year. I'll have to go out and see if it is producing offsets this year.
Awesome photo Chris.

I'm curious to know if yours is having offsets.

Got to be careful with those fertility drugs!

Guess I'll have to keep a closer eye on them!

Someone or something is providing fertility drugs to them, sure not me.

Here are photos of the twins, S. 'Maigret'. You can see the twins on the left side of the first photo. As you can see they have been quite productive.

S. arach 'Red Cobweb' bloom, 7/21/2010.

Great picture Lynn. Semp flowers really are pretty!

I went through the semp beds the other day just photographing the flowers. It's interesting to see the difference in color between the varieties.

Baby Star, King George, Red Summer and tect. 'Sunset'.

With most of them it is very subtle differences, but a few are very different. Like tect. 'Sunset'.

I'm loving your flower pictures.
A lot of my little ones are blooming right now, but it'll be a while yet before my big ones open up.

King George looks like it's setting off fireworks!

Would love to see photos of your Tabby. Which ones are blooming?

Chris I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. It really does look bursts of fireworks.
