Those are nice ones Ridvan,
Good examples of gloss and powdery wax! The second looks to be some mix of wulfenii and tectorum, if I had to guess.
This persuit is one I took on to have something to look forward to while getting older, it's a relaxed pace to say the least, watching the seedlings grow.
Some montanums seem to handle the heat fairly well. I'd stay away from the red marmoreums, they seem much more sensitive than the brown ones. I've lost 'Rubikon' to both summer and winter but 'Nouveau Pastel' loves getting soaked frozen and cooked, I finally have some blooms on that one to work with this year. Plants that go yellow in the summer usually do better with scorching heat, it's almost like they develop really nice tans. Dusty or dark purples tend to be tough cookies to, but not all of them. The only reason I have a contribution to this topic is that durring summer I migrate my semps out of the spring area against the south side of the house where they get radiant heat during the spring. I often do this process little by little, and have made note of the ones that fair best in the warmer location. Much hotter there in texas, the humidity here (which you may or may not get as well) adds a complexity that the semps don't seem to appreciate, 90 degree days can be common during the peak of summer here, we usually break 100 a handful of times a year, enough to roast the poor little vegetables if their not in a good spot.
