J. globifera subps. globifera on hill Kozelka

The second habitat, which I have visited, was the hill Kozelka near Nectiny. The habitat was large, the plants were in good condition. The adult plants have diameter from 3 to 9 centimeters.

I was very surprised after the visit of this habitat. I have read, that the platns Jovibarba globifera subps. globifera (= Jovibarba sobolifera) are very similar. It is not true.
The first surprise was the white painting at the leaves of plants. I have never seen it before.

Photos 2:

The population is very large


The white painting at the leaves.




The second surprise - the plants makes two forms there. The first form is more light and closed (it is at the photos in the topic Jovibarba globifera subsp. globifera at Nectiny castle), the second form is darker and the plants are more opened. The plants of this form are bigger and blooms.

Photos 3:
There were many plants.


Plants of the second darker and bigger form




The third surprise - one of many plants had very interestring colours - but it grows normal in the nature!

The fourth surprise - the plants blooms. I have read, that Jovibarba globifera subsp. globifera blooms very rarely, but it is not true. But the blows make only the plants of the second darker and bigger form. The blows makes two forms! The first form of the blows - the inflorescence is low - it has only 10 centimeters. The second form has the inflorescence 19 centimeters high! But I do not see the plants bloom. The plant are blooming now.

The biggest plants - they have diameter 8 centimeters


The first form of the inflorescence - low, only 10 centimeters high


The second form of the inflorescence - 19 centimeters high

For me, this species is S. (jov.) globiferum hirtum
Very beautiful pictures. If you will swap semp with me, write me please

Sorry, but I have only small collection, I am interestred in houseleeks only one and half year...

Ok no problem. I'm waiting.

But the collection is increasing quite fast....

Jazour, we are all waiting for you collection to be big enought to swap. Once you decide to exchange plants, do not forget about me - I am surely interested in swapping plants with you, too.

I must say kozelka reminds me much of Slovene landscape! (excpet for those big rocks!). I should visit your country someday.

Don't forget contact me before your visit... I can advise you some interestring habitats.

And don't have fear for Kozelka. There is simple tourist trail on this hill. And the houseleeks are growing up on the hill.
