Charter ATP Member I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database!
Wanted to mention that packing a box takes me a little time, so the semps you receive will have been out of sunlight for at least a few days. Therefore, please be sure to protect them from bright sun after arrival so that they can adjust. I've recently learned that semps can get sunburned if moved to a brighter location than what they are used to. (When I moved most of my collection, some ended up with too much sun...)

Box 5 is ready to go. It is probably the largest box of semps I have ever shipped and hence, postage will be larger than normal. If shipping to the west coast, could be $20.00 or more. As usual, the box contains varying numbers of the plants named but I've tried to give some nice types and variety. This one is an "instant" collection.

Box 5 contains:

No ID - Could be Emerald Empress (and is very similar to that one)
Orostachys furosei (just a little bit to get you going)
Sedum sexangulare
Ford's Spring
Fuego
No ID - large, green tectorum, but shorter leaves and more compact than what is normally seen or Emerald Giant
Hausmanii
Mt Hood
Commander Hay (likes to bloom a lot, but is prolific too)
Red Cobweb
tectorum Andorra (a small, nice tect.)
Sedum dasyphyllum Major
Jovibarba heuffelii 'Randolph' cutting
arach x pittonii
Silver Thaw
Peggy
Mate
Crimsonette (small name but very large semp)
Clara Noyes
Jovibarba sobolifera ssp hirtella
Jovibarba arenaria x hirta f/Belansky
Blue Moon
Red Beauty
Olivette
Jovibarba hirta 'Hedge Hog'

Julia gets first choice and if she doesn't want it, then Otter, then SleepyStar, then EarthChild since I haven't been able to reach Kent.

Current list is:
Julia/Springcolor (shipping today)
Kent/hawaiiplantgo
Otter
SleepyStar
EarthChild
Debbie
