First You Weed 'Em and Now You See-d 'Em!

Oh, the lengths to which one goes to be clever!
Sorry! ;-)

I very much enjoy the variety of Sedum available for the garden. These photos show the upright plants that are blooming here at this point in time.

I haven't done much research, but I just read that "Stonecrop" was the original name for these plants that grew in and around stones. According to this source, the name "Sedum" is now widely known and both names apply to all varieties of this same plant.


So, there you go! I've been wondering... have you?

This is 'Diamond Edge' in bloom. There's a little honeybee
and a strange-looking friend!
(Do you know who he is??)

This is 'Matrona.'

'Pink Chablis'

L: 'Purple Emperor' and R: 'Autumn Joy' (getting ready to blossom)

'Matrona' is in the foreground as you look at the Sunny Corner Bed.

Things are beginning to look a little weary around here...
How about your place?


Footnote: Thanks to Mr. McGregor's Daughter, I have been enlightened. Obviously, by my recent reading, it's been awhile since Sedum spectabile plants (such as those shown above) were re-classified to Hylotelephium spectabile). I'm assuming this relates to every tall, upright Sedum? At least, that's the assumption I'm making at this point in time.
