Week of 3 AugustA Sedum spectabile on 5 August still wholly in bud, hundreds of pale chartreuse teardrops packed into flat domed heads with no petal color showing anywhere, blue-green whorled leaves bluntly toothed beneath them and one pale insect settled on a head.Week of 28 SeptemberShowy Stonecrop (Sedum spectabile) on 28 September, its stout unbranched stems topped by flat corymbs packed with tight pink-tipped buds over pale green, only a scattering open so the heads read as a rosy haze.
