Well, that's a relief! Here I thought I was being a bad mother :) It's comical if you can picture my husband and I spending hours trying to figure the problem out. Even with internet research it's difficult to determine the exact type of species due to many of them looking the same. It would sure be beautiful if it would flower like that though. What are the chances of it surviving outdoors, west coast BC, being so wet in the winter? Thank you very much for the help.

I guess I wish instead of a knee jerk "this is different and I don't like it!" reaction, people could be secure enough in themselves and their own identities to say something like: "Wow, I've never had those thoughts and feelings about my gender but clearly this other person has...how interesting that we don't all go through life on the same path." NYT and CBC have been giving time to Elinor Burkett, previously known as the woman who Kanye'd the Oscars, to tell everyone that men and women's brains are exactly the same and that it's periods and growing up in fear for your physical safety that make a woman (because trans people don't have to worry about violent attacks). So since she's never had a period, Caitlyn in no way knows what it's like to be a woman and why don't those angry trans folks shut up already (PS she apparently thinks that not only are trans women not women, but trans men are also not women? I wonder how she feels about women who've never ovulated?). Who in the world thinks there's only one way to be a woman?! I hope to God I have more in common with Laverne Cox than this kook, at least in terms of class, empathy and intelligence. It's jerks like this that give feminism such a bad name.

Kirby As Stefan said...Sempervivums are hardy succulents and should be growing outdoors. Lots more light, containers with drainage holes and fast draining potting medium are basic needs for all succulents.

Need more pics. Like of trunks. Are they still young? Sometimes it can be difficult to tell young palms apart. Also, where is this growing? Climate? Did you grow from seed? Did you purchase?
