Yesterday, the 15th, was hardly a day to be in the garden taking pictures. The all day rain and the cold made it more a day for gazing out the window with a cup of hot chocolate. Even so, this sedum is just beginning to bloom. The original plant was purchased at Caprilands in 1993. Since then divisions grow in several places around the garden. Sometimes the plants do not survive the winter. It's such an old friend, I really should find out exactly what it is and what it likes.
The "Emperor of China Chrysanthemums" still have green leaves. Flower buds are now beginning to open. Even when it gets colder still these mums will continue to bloom and the foliage will turn a gorgeous Burgundy color. This mum is not just hardy, it actually seems to like the cold!
