Nice!

Watch out for that leptinella though. Once it gets a foothold, it will go everywhere. Pretty hard to control. I use it as a ground cover sometimes, but only in small potted ´landscapes´ as to contain it.

Thanks! I watch out for the Leptinella, it has already sent out some runners, I will keep an eye on it. Also I fount that the Azorella trifurcata did survive the transplant, all but one branch went brown and dry, but I belive it will make it.

Well, really cold winter here in the north, we had some weeks straight with -20C to -25C... 30cm of snow insulated them nicely, but the thaw and freeze afterward got to them hard.

The Leptinella squalida died, but that did not do anything as I had planing on remove it due to the aggressiv growth. It would had run over everything else really soon anyways. Sempervivum tectorum just turned red and took it like nothing...

I love this set up, been trying to think of a way to pant multiple species in the same box, the rocks are a nice natural touch.

Me too - but have to make it portable (cold snowy winters and all <G>). Great looking rock garden.

Snow is actually good, helps protect the plants. Winter rains, like we get here on the West side, are worse - but hardy Sedums and Sempervivums can even take that, as long as drainage is good. In Yakima, there's a number of hardy Cacti you could include, even - here, only Opuntia fragilis has a chance.
