Sedum species

[Lvandelft]

I do have the Handbook of Cultivated Sedums by Ronald Evans myself and looked in it, but the description was very different from the Praeger book and the pictures are mostly so bad that I put it away.
Looking back at some other descriptions, I doubt if he has seen all the plants he describes, like many autors 
Wim if you want I can make a scan of the description by Praeger of Sedum fabaria var. Borderi and of the picture of S. fabaria.
He is very clear about and I think that Ray Stevenson used the same source.

Hi Luit,

if you could place a scan of Praegers description here I would appreciate that very much. Thanks

[Lvandelft]

Wim here are the pictures and descriptions from:

U ?? Graag gedaan Wim

[WimB]

Volgende keer zal ik je tutoyeren!! 

[Lvandelft]

Wim, that's much better than "vousvoyeren"   

Thanks to Napoleon we don't seem to have Dutch words for this 

[WimB]

Isn't "jijjouwen" the Dutch word for this?

Napoleon left a lot of things... I think Belgium still has 50% of it's laws dating from his "visit"

Isn't "jijjouwen" the Dutch word for this?

Yes, but I don't like it

Gail, thankfully, in English I may happily refer to you as "you" without any additional nuances such as beset such usage in other languages.... so... I have moved your post about the cycling trip to the Travel section, where more may see it!

Gail - Maggi asks that in emails only she be referred to as "Thou".  Take note.

Flippin' 'eck!   [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ]

Thank you for the move Maggi.  And the 'you' is used with due deference; I am most impressed with your constant vigilance on this site and how well you keep everyone under control!  (And also very impressed by your avatar, I was never half so pretty!)

[Maggi Young]

Forsooth,dear Lady Gail, thou art too kind.

To be honest, when I look at that avatar photo, I can scarcely believe it's me..... Time and chocolate.... a fearsome combination, for sure!

And quite appropriate too, being the Goddess that she is. But as for keeping us all under control, that's QUITE another matter.

Mark must surely be given the title "Avatarist of the Year" when the annual Forum awards are given out.
