I figured I'd posthere since most plants are low growing...... I love some of the ideas in this site..... i.e. growing in driftwood for plants...... I like sempervivums but can anyone reccomend some other plants that would be suitable for growing with these methods? (besides sedums) flowering would be nice.... :)

Here is a link that might be useful: pictures and ideas...... what other plants? :)

Thought Sempervivella and Jovibarba species look very similar to Sempervivum, they are different.

Euphorbia species in general will take a lot of abuse and dry. Then there is the many cactus genera, Delosperma, Talinum and even Antennaria.
