    Harry we need some close ups. so many good things.

    Rina, how did your oddity come through the winter-this is the first time mine didn't come within an inch of departure.

    I have about 85 / 90 different species by name and some unnamed. In the garden and spare-ones in potts.

    ps. My oddity collection is diminished (?) to only six little plants and there were more than twenty

    neptune is very wantable,

    this year oddity in pots did fine but those in the ground disappeared.

    Most Oddity survived; few offsets didn't - I divided them quite late last fall. All are in pots. It is still cold here, below freezing until just past few days and just touch above only during day. My plants still do not look good, can't compare to either yours or Harry's. Both of you have many more Semps than I expected! :) And they are looking great...

    I brought few pots inside about 3 wks ago because they were moldy like this:

    Worse looking ones went to compost heap; others were potted into smaller pots and here they are, 2 weeks later:
    They are in unheated space, but temps stay just around 1-2*C (32-34*F). Amazing how they perked up in just little warmth (comparing to outside), in such short time. I have few more pots that I also brought inside at the same time, and will take pic at daytime. I did this with Oddity only.

    Couple more pots mentioned above:

    Some of these look like they are reversing - they are all pups off original plant:

    rina, boo, hiss on mold-great that they came back strong. it is wonderful how fast semps respond to longer days and warmer nights-although we only had a few weeks of really cold weather this year. took those pictures yesterday-temps in the high 60's-snowed last night and temps only in the 30's today.

    that pot of oddity looks great.

    found two new-to me-semps; pacific blue ice and calcarea-nice.
