Today’s Flowers: Sedum
I took this photo of a dried sedum flower a block away from my house a few days ago.
Here’s a sedum flower I photographed last September. I believe this is “Showy Stonecrop” or Sedum spectabile. I would like to try growing this flower in my garden this summer.

This looks like some flowers growing wild outside my house! They are quite beautiful, and so are your pics! Love the second, it has such nice light!
Carletta says
You know, I liked that dried sedum. It's still quite beautiful in its own right.
I noticed last week my sedum is beginning to come through the ground. I was totally surprised.

Beautiful sedum plant pictures.
Sedums are easy to grow and available in many colours!
Good Luck!
- Cheers.

What a contrast between the two photos! I have seen sedums blooming before, so was prepared for the pinks, but the rust tones in the dried blossom!! Very appealing! Of course, in this part of the world, the dried blooms would be covered with snow, so would never be left on the plant in the fall.
Thanks for sharing!
PS - Liked your comment on The Daily, about the tulip petals looking like decaying satin! Very apt, and poetic!
Dot says
Those are very pretty! I have some that are pink.

One of the nice things about sedums is they tend to bloom when less is flowering, at least here in Seattle. I'm thinking of putting some in an old birdbath; I heard they will do well there.

That's a scene right out of a Cape Cod summer. We had those in our back yard, and were quite a sight ... but they looked terrible in the winter all bare.
Lilli says
Those are lovely i like the colors
Arija says
Sedum is great for a sunny, sandy position. Nice shots.

Judy, thanks for liking my tulip petals looking like decaying satin. I try to come up with words other than lovely or beautiful, as we all probably do, but sometimes a photo really does speak some new words to us.
Arija, sunny, sandy position? I might be able to find sunny, but we've got lots of clay. Since I've seen them locally, I'm just going to try a sunnier backyard spot.
Sara, in an old birdbath? sounds nice. In potting soil?
Reader Wil says
Sedum is a beautiful plant. I have them also in my front garden in September.
Neal says
Beautiful! Makes me want spring to come even more.
Fishing Guy says
Leora: I do love sedum because they draw the butterflies and bees to photograph. Mine are all cut down so I see no dried heads.
Gmirage says
It seems new to me :D Great macro shot!
Quietpaths says
Really varied colors! I knew there were many different varieties but I haven't seen the orange yet. Thanks!
Quietpaths says
ah, I see it's the dried color! Mine are definitely pink.
leoraw says
Quietpaths, I was going to say that...glad you figured it out!
