Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Stonecrop

Atractive buds of the Stonecrop flower - think I'm correct saying it is Common/Lance-leaved Stonecrop (Sedum lanceolatum). Photographed in the alpine meadow on Plateau Mountain, Kananaskis, on July 17th.

This is a low-growing plant that seems to like growing on rock, in a large, dense mass. Only a very small flower, too, so this image is obviously zoomed in. I just loved the bright yellow against the deep blue sky - and consequently have given a false idea of what this plant is like and where it grows : ) Sorry, everyone, was out all morning, then had a volunteer shift this afternoon, and now I am about to dash out to see a gentleman's cactus garden this evening. I have a long day's hike tomorrow to botanize a new area. Will catch up with you as soon as I can : )

I'm digging deep into my archives at the moment, as this photo was taken on 26th June 2005! Like Old Stone, I love the bright yellow against the grey rocks.

An attractive plant found on one of my hikes. I like seeing this growing against bare rock.
