Oh what a beauty Cathy. Hopefully it will perk up in due course. It poured down here for a good part of the day and was decidedly chilly too. Wearing a fleece tonight but hoping for better things tomorrow 🙂
It should have had some support earlier, Anna, and this has been rectified today. And for an hour or so yesterday I had a jumper AND the heating on – but then I was baking and had to remove the effect of both!
It was rainy and relatively chilly too but I certainly wasn’t complaining after such a dry and hot summer. Here sedums are such easy plants to grow (and they are happy with little in the way of water too)
There’s a rain god? I wonder what sacrifices he’d require to pay us a visit in SoCal? I’m glad you’re enjoying some rain after what sounds as if it was an unusually dry summer for you. The Sedum is lovely.
Lovely photos. I’m sure your plants are most happy for a full day of rain. We’ve had quite a bit of rain here this summer, which is unusual and I know how precious it can be to a gardener and their plants.
That’s a very nice variety of Sedum Cathy.
Probably my favourite, although it doesn’t form such a neat clump as some
I fear there may be damage in my garden due mostly to the wind. The rain itself has been very soft.
Lovely, one of my favourite sedums.
Mine too, Chloris
Lovely!
Yes, the rain and the sedum!!!

we could use some more rain her but I love sedums and don;t have any in this pitiful garden I’m working on.Might have to change that.

Hmm, interesting question, Kris…. 😉 What would be prepared to sacrifice, I wonder…?!

Indeed, they loved it Cindy, and the soil looks SO much better for such a thorough watering too
Cathy the photos are magnificent. The sédum is divine, wonderful and very beautiful. Greetings from Margarita.
Giving it the ‘Chelsea chop’ in mid May might help to remedy the flopping!!
Yes, so I am led to believe but so far have been reluctant to do so…perhaps next year!
