#mosstodon #succulents on a local dry stone wall

(identification welcome, probably some kind of Sedum?)

close-up of a bunch of deep green succulent stems, about 7 cm long, emerging from the gaps between the scraggly rocks. Their leaves form short, round lobes around the stems.
patches of green, short-leaved moss on the top of a craggly limestone rock, with brown fruiting bodies on long stems pointing upwards like awns on barley
small, thick, hairy, green succulent rosettes hiding in the cold gap between two limestone rocks

@daniel_bohrer@chaos.social this is exactly how many of the walls in my area look. These exact plants. No clue what they are tho.

Kay Ohtie, Bat-Yote!

@daniel_bohrer oh man, I wish I could remember the name. That first one I have potted -- it seemed to die over winter but came back, first as a small single growth and suddenly much larger! They have gorgeous small flowers that will form and blossom on the tip of each stalk, and the blossom withers afrer a few days. But lovely little colors. Excellent photos. 🧡

@daniel_bohrer the first one is some kind of Sedum.
The third one looks like Sempervivum, I'd say, but I can't specify the exact plant species or varieties.

I have very similar ones standing on my windowsill ;)

@kawosz oh yes, Sempervivum could very well be the case, as @arrrrrmin also mentioned in a side thread 🙂
It's probably hard to tell for sure which species it is exactly because I haven't seen any flowers.
