| | Paghat's Garden: Sempervivum tectorum, pale green |
 | | And that whole while they had very much the look of Jovibarbas, so I never doubted they were what they were labeled as being, until they bloomed two years later & had the rose-pink flowers of Sempervivum tectorum, as shown in a June portrait below. |
 | | Jovibarba & Sempervivum are so similar in appearance, & each has such variation even within a single species of each genus, that it is understandable that even a specialty nursery might become confused. |
 | | Jovibarba has a greater tendency toward the pale green coloration, while Semps more often have at least reddish hues. |
