Sedum or Stonecrop.

Another plant that has being doing well in my Sister's garden is the Sedum, or Stonecrop as it's sometimes known.

A lovely plant with some interesting facts. It has water storing leaves and when in flower there is normally just 5 petals. There is always twice as many stamens as petals, bet you didn't know that. OK thank goodness for Wikipedia.

Dainty little plant. Thanks for sharing what you learned!

It is a very pretty colour and how curious about the stamens; isn't wikipedia great for info:0))

hardy plant I guess

[Lin]

Lovely colors - it looks so delicate and lacy...I wouldn't judge it to be so hardy (looks can be deceiving!)

@genealogygenie @claireuk @philcameron59 @linnypinny Thanks all, not sure about the hardy plant, I thought I was hardy but I'm beginning to feel the cold weather.
