Ben or anyone on the list,
Hi, I have been lurking for quite a while. I have enjoyed all of the
information and the games, too.
I, too, saw the show on HGTV last Saturday on Ed Skrocki and his
semps. I have tried to find out if he sells plants mail order or through any
mail order nurseries, but cannot find any information on him. I tried
www.google.com and found references to his plants, but nothing on him. I
tried www.qwestdex.com (our local phone company online directory) and put in
his name, city and state and found nothing. I think the show was a couple of
years old. Is he still alive? Is he still active in the semp community? I
would really like to buy some of his plants. (especially the orange one! If
he has any available) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

semps with each other. I even payed him a visit and was driven in
the old Packard. The latin name for hen and chicken is
Sempervivum or Jovibarba I happen to be an expert on the subject I
have a 1000 plus clones in my garden about 300 of them are wild
collected . They were my first love before I started with Hosta
