I'm pretty sure I have the same plant as simply O. minuta. Same, or different?

I missed all the spring specials!!

They're very semp-like aren't they?

I shall henceforth count you all as enablers of my collecting "disease".

I love them - they're so slow growing and delicate looking, but are they ever tough! Mine get absolutely no special care - in fact, that would probably kill them.

It's probably the same plant Jackie. They do look similar to semps. These are small - they're in a 6" hypertufa bowl in this picture. They are slow growing. Mine pretty much just sat there for 2 years. This year it's finally taking off.

Mine are in my display bed along the driveway, and very slow, but they look healthy.
