      @NigelJ We have lots of Chaixii but keep the Mullein moth off them by having a few of the very tall common yellow ones dotted around. Those attract all the moth and they leave Chaixii alone. :blue thumb:

        @shiney Interestingly this is the first year, for some time, that I have had none of the common mullein around. The one above gets more shady than the others.

              Good morning all,
              My pictorial little hoard of Sempervivums from RHS Harlow Carr Harrogate (plus a few others not in shot)

              Semp grid.jpg

              Whilst there are thousands of named cultivars of sempervivums I'm limiting myself to collecting just the RHS AGM award winners and the Arachnoideum Group plus a few other specialties. I should end up with around 24 in all. Which is enough to cultivate and handle.

                        There may lie a problem @Verdun lol
                        But I have to keep the numbers down to a manageable level. So with a few distinct groups, I think I can manage that.
