Sempervivums

Not so strange Fran after all they would normally live outdoors.

It's good that the cold weather hasn't damaged them Fran. I know John says that they would normally live outdoors, but I'm not too sure whether they are very good living outside in the UK. I feel they prefer warm weather.

nice collection. i put a succulent outside due to some small flying bugs coming from the soil. i didn't think it would last (though i liked the plant, i didn't like the bugs in the house so it had to fend for itself). well, it wintered over - and even with snow and very cold temperatures this winter it's fine. now we're both happy.

Thanks everyone. The little bugs are precisely why they now live outside.
