Sedum

Sedum
Also known as Stonecrop or Ice Plants.

I have quite a large crop of these in my garden, so I brought this little piece indoors to photograph. Taken in natural light using a piece of textured card from a craft shop as a background.

A lot of our flowers are starting to die off now, so I've been bringing a few indoors to photograph them before they get too untidy.........so you'll see some more in due course.

Mir gefallen diese Blüten, obwohl doch die einzelnen Blüten recht klein und unscheinbar sind. Hier ist es eher der ganze Blütenstand, aber für einen Blumenstrauß eignet sich die Fetthenne wohl nicht. Eher für ein Gesteck, vielleicht. Wie auch immer, mir gefallen sie gut und ich habe auch welche in unserem Garten. Wahrscheinlich aber nicht so viel wie Du, wie mir scheint. ;-) Der Hintergrund dazu passt gut, finde ich. So schön pastellfarben, das Bild, Ton in Ton. Es wirkt wie gemalt. :-))

Thank you for your visit and comprehensive comments Frank, which are very much appreciated.

I agree that they're probably not suitable for a bouquet, but apparently florists use them in flower arrangements quite often, as they last so well.

A beautiful image Keith I wonder why they are called Ice Plants
6 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you so much Peter..........glad you like it.

I had no idea that they were also called ice-plants...........but Mr Google did. Here is the answer to your question:

"With succulent, frosted stems and a tolerance of icy winters, sedum is commonly known as an ice plant".

I've added "Ice Plant" to my narrative.
