Wild stonecrops

These are native or non-native stonecrops in wild. Absorbing moisture from the air during night time, they tend to be seen near lots of water like riverside, seaside and pondside, where fog easily appears at night.



Sedum oryzifolium on the middle of the cliff near the sea at my local site.


Sedum sarmentosum, this sedum is very common and easy to find, especially banks of rivers. It is said this is naturalised species from China and Korean peninsula more than a century ago.


Sedum bulbiferum at my backyard. This stonecrops make gemmae around its leaf joints.


Sedum makinoi cv., this species usually have green leaves but this is a cultivar with yellow leaves. I found this community on a residential street. So this must have come out of one of the houses near this site.


Sedum mexicanum at a gutter cover. It look so unstable but I think it is comfortable as absorbing moisture from this gutter.This sedum is one of horticultural kinds but originally native to Mexico.
