Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Seed grown from white flowered parents these are variable in rosette size and amount of webbing; we have selected several promising clones from this batch of seedlings. (Does anyone still grow the pinhead cobweb? That tiny thing with 1/8? wide rosettes, Punnett and I would both like it back, its fantastic on tufa).
