The tiny bunches on this plant are well worth stopping to examine, with their tiny spiky filaments on those beautiful rich pink and white florets. The family they belong to has apparently about 600 members and is also called Sedum. It is really happy growing on any dry rocky soil and although it will spread it is not invasive and easy to remove if it starts to get out of hand. The name indicates that it is low growing, or possibly that it has sedative properties according to a quick Google search. I could certainly sit calmly and look at it for hours, so I hope you enjoy this brief glimpse of a relaxing plant today. I hope the rest of the day is equally calm for you.

    1. Thank you, Len! That is high praise indeed, coming from you. I hope you are both well and coping with the situation. I hope you enjoyed the butterfly. XO

  2. Perfect for a PFD when it is too hot to move. I will just sit and admire each tiny floret along with you, Ellie, till the cows come home or the weather changes and brings relief. Thank you, Ellie, for such a contemplative shot.
