Identify that Plant

The “woodland,” “wild,” or “mountain” Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) grows within the eastern portion of the U.S.  Although the plant is small and its flowers are equally small,  Stonecrop catches the eye when it blooms.

Each cluster of white flowers consists of three branches . . . as seen in this closer image of a Stonecrop cluster of flower buds.

Watch this video to see close-up views of the Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) flower with its two colors of anthers, to observe how the plant has two different types of leaf shapes and leaf arrangements, and to learn how it looks during winter months.

Roadsides throughout North America are cheerfully graced with groupings of Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) during summer months.

Each plant has a single flower stalk which splits into two racemes of flower buds and flowers.  Here’s a close view of some Daylily flower buds.

After blooming, the flower dies and drops from the flower stalk while a new flower opens.
