Not Yet a Flower

This is a Showy Sedum. It’s a succulent like plant that flowers in the fall. The flowers are particularly attractive and I have never really like the plant as a flower. They tend to multiply if you leave them alone.

The only memorable thing about the flowers is bumblebees really seem to like them. In the fall, when I come out in the morning, I frequently find one or two small bumblebees sleeping on the flower. Eventually the day warms up, the bee tanks up and flies away.

Although they are not very attractive, I thought the spring growth look almost like a basket of blue-green flowers. They are not particularly beautiful, but it think it makes for an interesting photo.

They do make an interesting photo. Almost like green flowers. Quite attractive. We had snow again last night so your flower photos are most welcome.
