Thank you Martin for these beautiful pictures!
Only I am almost sure that the Semp. montanum Bloodtips is a Semp. calcareum form.
It's amazing that some people always try to show something old with a new name.
Why would this be??
Nevertheless, the pan with Sempervivum looks very good and with the right name would make no difference.
And I always thought that the people of the jury might be the best knowledgable plantsmen .

Luit, the judges don't always correct names for people although I wish they would more often. I also thought it was a calcareum but I tend to post what exhibitors' say they are as I'm just as likely to be wrong as they are. Whatever its true identity it was very photogenic.

Its good to see the pictures Martin.  Hope you manage to get away at the weekend and swim your way up north. We're thinking of planting rice
