I did manage to grow about six and later three of those died but I do have three succulents that I grew from seed. They're still very young and they all look about the same. I don't know if they will develop into something different of if they *are* all the same. I plan to try again another year.

The flower stalks were big and fleshy and looked like the ones in your photograph but the buds never opened into flowers. Eventually the whole flower stalks dried up and I threw them away.

I haven't grown my own collected seed yet, but I've bought some online and was amazed at the many variations. The different colours and forms don't show up immediately, but in a few months you can see them starting to colour up, especially as the cooler weather of Autumn arrives. Lovely to have such a nice obsession! I’ve had great success growing Sempervivum from seed (also Jovibarba, but that’s another story!).
