Thank you all so much for your caring and encouraging words.
Twit, thank you, thank you for hanging here with me to try saving my much loved Semps. As for having a cool & dark place, I do not. I have a cool place (sun room) but that really is a SUN room. Have just finished spreading them on paper towels in the garage and have a fan blowing on them. Hopefully the heat in the garage will help them dry out sooner. (Wishful thinking, grasping at anything to try saving my babies. They really do look like babies since I stripped them of anything I thought was a danger to them.) Gosh, being a Semp. Mom can be hard work and very heart breaking.
Lynn, these I know are gone from those you sent me Summer 2011..I have the labels and will try replacing every one of them.
Semps from Lynn (Summer 2011) that didn't make it. As of 7/7/12
Atroviolaceum
Braunii
Dolle Dina's
Hirta Sobolifer
KoKo Flannel
Legolas
Olivette
Pacific Blazing Star

Westerlin. So many of those drying I'm afraid do not stand a chance of survival. The bed will be completely done over before replanting.
Thanks again, I love you all.
