So it does, Josef.... I missed it, and a couple of  others when collating the new section. Thanks for letting me know.  I will move it  there.

Seemingly I am loosing my only potgrown semp (or semplike plant). I have had it for several years and it is not frost hardy but has stood outside from early spring till late fall. This year all the rosettes started producing flower spikes and not any new rosette!

Don't know the name though!

[cohan]

I'm no expert even seeing the rosettes, (which you can't see here) but I'm thinking maybe something like Greenovia or one of the small Aeoniums, or another similar one or two I can't think of now..
Hmm, a little digging says not Greenovia- much brighter flowers, but I see some Aeoniums, such as cuneatum (no idea about foliage mat) have lax inflorescences like this..

There's no newer Sempervivum & al. topic than 2012?

I'm surprised when I see many species of Sempervivum on sale in which the species name or locality are not corrects. For example I have seen many times Sempervivum cantabricum ex Caballo (Spain). Totally false!
 
The correct location is Pico del Caballo, it is in Sierra Nevada (Granada, Spain) and in the south of Spain there is no Sempervivum than Sempervivmum minutum (no cantabricum!). I would like notify in the web where I see it, but some are copied from others and in the end is a long list of sites. This happens with many Sempervivum for sale from Spain...

Nice ones Khalid.
Well, I have just started with some Semps. I received in trades here in Romania, then I bought some seed mixes and now I have about 15 different kinds of seeds from a seller in Germany.
I will not attempt to ID all of them, even if the labels had names.
I just love them for what they are. Gorgeous succulents.
I want to see if I can grow them into nice colonies.

Very nice Khalid- esp to see the atlanticum, a less familiar sp.
fixpix- if they like your climate they should start to make nice colonies in short order- which I agree is one of the best things about semps

Hello! I'm new to the site and to the forum as of today! I'm a bit of a semp-aholic by my own admission. I've recently moved house so many of my semps had to come out of their comfy beds and were hastily potted up. This combined with such wet weather has meant that many of mine are feeling a bit sorry for them selves at the moment - bring on a nice spring to cheer them up please!

As I say, I've just moved so my plants still need a bit of sorting out, but here are some of my semps. I've just bought two new troughs so I'm hoping to get many of the individually potted semps settled into them very soon.
