Earlier this week, I prepared for the coming massive drop in temperature (over 60 degrees in 24 hours) and snowstorm by putting buckets over three of my sedum plants. The sedum had just come into bloom and I couldn’t bear thinking about the bees and butterflies losing that food. While we did lose a huge limb from our red maple, the plants fared better.

The sedum survived and my winged friends were out in force today.
(Shout-out to Michelle who would’ve been fifty years old today. She also loved flora and fauna.)

Glad your sedum pulled through. We had cloudy skies, 40 degree days and buckets of rain. Finally some sun today.

How nice! I am so happy for your butterflies and bees. It will be 48 tonight but so far fall is progressing in an orderly manner here.

What a catch in your photo! I used to love watching my sedum turn from pink to darkest red, which was usually BEFORE the snows hit, though:)

YES to letting sedum bloom at its own pace!
