Thank you so much for all the suggestions. These are the sites I will be buying from.
http://www.roraimanursery.com.... and
http://www.thesucculentgarden.... and I know the ones I love (reds and pinks and purples and lots of contrast)
I have a baby arachnoideum type which I rescued from the floor of a nursery (it must have fallen off its hen somewhere) which is doing exceptionally well in the heat. It was the size of a dime, now it's about a silver dollar size. I also have another unidentified one, which seems to be somewhat waxy, dark olive green to grey in colour, curly purple tipped leaves, very beautiful and delicate but small with LOTS of bright pink offsets. It's constantly etoliating.
The Flamingo's petals open and close from day to day, it changes color a lot and I'm moving it around to find a place where it can be happy. It has 3 new offsets. It's so beautiful but boy is it touchy.
On the other hand, my two types of garden semps I can dig up and throw anywhere and they grab on within 24hrs and start growing. Even if I take them out of the ground and don't plant them for a month they still survive!
