Charter ATP Member I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database!
Update: My Pacific Blazing Star bloomed out, so only had a couple of offsets to share. I've put together two boxes to ship out on Thursday - they are packed but open so that they can dry out some more - its really humid here.

My landlord has decided that she doesn't like my collection in their current location and I must downsize my collection, so there are a few changes. That's not as bad as it sounds, because I had already been working a bit at downsizing anyway. I also have two properties to host the collection, neither of which has room for the whole thing, but at least I can move some to the second location. As a result, the bags in he boxes packed will mostly contain all the semps in an entire container of my collection. In some cases, this will be a colony of semps. In other cases, just a few. Keep in mind that I was routinely backing up my collection by splitting it among one or more pots, so even though I may be shipping all of a variety I have in a container, I may also have a backup pot.

Box 1 contains:

Red Rubin
Jeremiah
arach Red Cobweb
Hausmanii
Maigret
Reinhard
The Police
arach. Linde (one of the best arach's IMHO)
Abba
No ID (medium size, nice semp, entire colony)
No ID (probably Danji but not sure so Noid)
Pacific Blazing Star (just a few)

Box 2 contains:

Danji
Jubulee
No ID (originally labeled Sanford Hybrid Red form but could not confirm that one exists)
Abba
Jade Rose (only a few,does not do well for me)
Hausmanii
No ID sedum (might be a hardy Makinoi)
No ID (nice semp, entire colony)

Note both boxes are about the same size. But one has fewer plants per variety while box 2 has more per variety. (Hope I didn't mess up the lists.)

Lily/Lisa, you get to pick which box you want. Remaining box goes to gg5 unless he wants to pass and get a later box. If neither want these, I will offer to next two people on the list. Let me know via t-mail.

I'm open to adding more people to the list at the moment, as I expect to have more boxes of semps. T-mail me if interested and I'll be in touch. Shipping schedule needs to be irregular b/c I'm in "rescue-the-collection" mode. I'm asking you to just pay exact postage plus a buck or two for misc costs (packaging materials, gas to go to the po, etc) after the package arrives. Can pay in Forever stamps or ? No PayPal.
