Happy to see some semps taking on strong color here in September, particularly those with deep dark centers, here's a few of them.
Semp 'Big Six-O' looks great throughout the season, in fact the center approaches black color in late season.
Still waiting for cultivar color divergence in two KV crosses from a related cross, not seeing it yet, 'Big Six-O' at the top, 'Dragon's Eye' at the bottom. Regardless, the deep black centers are awesome, what incredible color.

Semp 'Intensity' is wonderful, very dark centers, on the left is an overhead view, on right is a slight oblique overhead view.
Again I show 'Bitter Chocolate', the center keeps getting darker and darker in late summer, outstanding! The chicks are even darker than the hens.
Relatively new to the forum is Kevin's 'Holly Jolly', here's what it looks like now in early Sept, nice dark centers.
Semp 'Viking: bright red all season long. With our monsoon-like intensely rainy summer, this one shed perhaps 50% of it's leaves due to excess moisture, this view shows hand-tweasered rosettes almost half-size after tweezering <---good semp term.
