Hi Jsoto, I have some of the green with red tips, but don't know their name. Might you like me to send some of those when I send the irises? LMK and I'll add them to the list. Sue...chemocurl

You DO know that the 'hens' die not too long after flowering, right? All of those little ones are the next generation. They've been happiest, for me, in full sun, and I grow them in our red clay. It does drain well, however, but I've not amended it with much of anything. Occasionally, I kidnap a few of the chicks to pot up in very gritty mix composed largely of granite chicken grit (or it might be turkey grit), Turface, and pine bark fines. Any that might be containerized stay near my back patio, which is sheltered from the hottest afternoon sun from about 4:00. They are SO cute in containers, aren't they? Are you growing yours in the ground or in containers?

also looking for Coral Carpet Sedum..

'Oddity' is kind of the odd man out as far as Semps, Stush, but the others you can learn to tell apart easily with a little time. And of course no one else pups quite like a Semp, and most Echeveria help point themselves out with their powdery surface that Semps don't have. What you have there, iso, are two Echeveria plants (the two silverly blue plants) and two Aeoniums. The top Aeonium, with pink edges, is Aeonium 'Kiwi,' while I'd say the bottom Aeonium is A. haworthii. A. 'Kiwi' is a variegated hybrid of A. haworthii. Neither Echeverias nor Aeoniums are hardy, so they need to be inside if a frost is in the forecast. This is the problem with the nickname "hens and chicks." Most commonly it applies to Sempervivum, and I find it easy to accidentally assume someone who has used that phrase is referring to Semps. The usage of it has stretched over into Echeveria, and growing an Echeveria is none too similar to growing Semps in the winter. Semps are extremely cold-hardy, but safe to assume other succulents are not. Glad I asked the question. I initially assumed because you had noted the specific plant S. tectorum, that you knew you had S. tectorum. This post was edited by teatree on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 21:04
