Flowering sedums flourishing on the rockery

Lovely definition to your photos.

Thank you, Josee. 😊

Excellent photos, especially as they are so close-up, no camera shake there! Second pic is a stunner.

What is the flower in second photo.It’s lovely

Nice photos, I've always liked sedums but never really had much luck with them due to vine weevils

Thanks Sue, pleased you like!!!! Lovely compliment!!😊

Thank you, Gerardine! I’m not 100% sure, it’s been there a while. I know it stonecrop and a spurium. Not sure exactly which one. Sorry x

Thanks Grandad gardener. That’s a pity you don’t have a lot of luck with them. I struggle with some rockery plants due to being inundated with wood lice!

It's interesting to take more note of a smaller world. Fascinating photos, Kate.

Beautiful photography of much underestimated plants, it isn`t until you see them in such detail that you realise just how lovely they are.

Thanks Ange, I always think of your description ‘tapestries’…I love using your word now!

Thank you kindly, Phyl! I know what you mean - when you see them close up and in detail, they look so different!

Gerardine, I’ve been out in the garden and realised the 2nd pic is the common house leek flower. Sempervivum tectorum. Sorry I thought I should correct myself! 😊

I love sedums, sempervivums and house leeks and have a lot of them the flowers fascinate me and you have lovely pictures of yours. I think they are quite underrated and deserve a better press sometimes. I grow my house leeks mostly in dishes but they have suffered from too much rain this year, but they always seem to survive.

lovely clear close ups. as you say they are often overlooked but they do a brilliant job.

You have some lovely ones there Kate! I love the yellow ones!

Love your rockery plants. I can't choose a favorite. Great pics Kate.

Thanks Paulinthemix! 😊

Thank you, Denise. I am a fan too, they create tapestries don’t they! ( using Ange’s description). I agree that they are underrated. They fill a rockery, a bed or a pot in a wonderful spreading fashion, plus they deliver the most pretty little flowers. I’m pleased yours have survived, Denise 👍

Thank you, Rose. The yellow ones are so vivid in the sunshine!

Thank you, Paul. They really do deliver, all year round.

Like Gerardine I fell for the second one but was amazed to find it was a house leek! I guess many tiny flowers would look exotic if they were much bigger!

Thank you, Sue!!! I know what you mean, if they were larger they would be really something!

Lovely photographs and plants Kate,I have a lot of Sedums, Sempervivums and Houseleeks, (those are mainly in pots) I'm a collector, I grow in the gravelled area and around the pond, I added a lot around the rose garden last year, they are all loving their new home and loving all this sunshine, bees really love them..

Thank you, Sue, that’s kind. Sounds like you have a wonderful collection, especially with you being a grower too! Where you’ve site yours, around the pond and around the rose garden - beautiful! The effects will add a real artistry to both areas. Yes, have to agree, bees just seem to adore them!
