Sometimes the webbing gets very thick and fuzzy... I love these! Dionne, what looks like spider webs on those sempervivums is actually part of the plant.

By the way, 'Oddity' is a bit more of a challenge to grow successfully, so that explains why you have had such trouble getting a supply of them.

I hope your Oddity plants thrive. It looks like your local spiders love these plants as well! I hope your Oddity plants thrive.

You did the right thing. It is truly sad that companies really have little customer service and seem to forget that we MIGHT have been repeat customers except for their poor service.

What a coincidence! I have some sempervivum in my garden that were given to me by my aunt. I think they're really unusual and pretty because they don't look like other sempervivum, instead of flat leaves their leaves are tubular. But I've never known what the name of the variety was until today -- Oddity! Thanks for the timely info and the entertaining read. Great blog BTW.

Hasn't this nursery ever heard of terms like customer satisfaction and word of mouth advertising? You did exactly the right thing in not giving up until they had lived up to their end of the bargain. It's just a shame that it turned out to be such a bad experience. I can never understand how companies think they can stay in business when they treat their customers that way.

Your special ordered semps are beautiful. Way to go girl, I’m glad you stood up for yourself and made that woman send you the plants you paid for. Your special ordered semps are beautiful.

Some people do business that way. I will be surprised if they stay in business for long! The second ones are indeed beautiful. I like sempervivums too.
