Hi, Gramps. Good to see you here. I don't know how you manage a 1000 type collection. That sure seems like a lot of work. My collection numbers over 100 varieties and it sure keeps me busy.
I really appreciate seeing the SempWorld extract and want to suggest that you scan all the issues and save on DVD's or a web site. So much information regarding the history of Sempervivum and Jovibarba (and related) has been lost over the years, in part because the technology was not conducive to sharing or too expensive to reproduce and distribute. You would be doing all of us a great favor. It also is important to remember those that came before and made contributions. You could even probably sell the DVD's for a reasonable price. My main concern, however, is back when it was being published, people knew and recorded information that may not be on record anywhere else.
I'm curious as to how you feel about the Jovibarba vs the Sempervivum in your collecting "preferences".
Watch out for Lynn, she seem's bent on getting one of the 12,734 known varieties of Sempervivum and Jovibarba known for her collection before the end of the decade!
