Sedum in my garden has not bloomed or changed colors yet this year. This photo was from last year on my deck. Sharing with Critter Saturday Challenge. If you look closely you can see at least five bugs/critters visiting the sedum.
Another amazing fact to share about nature. Most pests won’t bother your succulent plants. They can’t get through the tough skin and waxy coating on some species, and other types just don’t taste right. Succulent plants don’t seem susceptible to many bugs or diseases.

Do you have bug problems in your garden?

Yes

No

Yeah, I saw 4 on the lovely flower. I don’t have that problem because I don’t have a garden yet. But there are many insects roaming around I just don’t know how to identify those but mostly ants.
This time of the year we see a lot in the garden.
Lily beetle on my lilies is a real problem. Those bugs are not native here so I have no mercy on them! I agree about succulents. They’re also a lot better at taking care of themselves in terms of watering 🙂
This is a great photo, Carol. I often mix some sedum leaves into my salad. They add a nice astringency, and have a great texture 🙂
Succulents are like cats, pretty independent. 🙂 Thanks! Good to see you.
Hope you get rid of the lily beetle. Have not had that one yet.
Lovely post and great idea, bugs can be beneficial for the environment
Thank you Pam, succulents are a cool plant.
Luckily the bugs don’t like certain plants otherwise gardening would be quite the chore.
That is so true. I would just give up if they attacked every plant.
With the rains come the insects. I hate ants they cause a lot of problems in my garden
Yes it is all part of the process. Ants are sometimes a problem at the hummingbird feeder.
I have quite a bit of insect problems in my garden. Particularly persistent are the ants which can not be solved anyway.
I guess most of us do at some time during the season. I rarely have ants thankfully. Sometimes around the hummingbird feeder.
I don’t have a problem with insects that interfere with my plants, lately, I have sometimes even become a pest that annoys them coz I often don’t go home to water plants.
That is a very good thing. I don’t have many lately but as the summer progresses I will see more. Yikes, they gotta have water. Take care. I know things are hectic.
I have apologized to all the plants in the yard, hope they grant it.
They will be very forgiving.
I do not have my pots. But in the lady’s house where I work, the roses are with black blobs.
Probably a rose fungus perhaps.
I feed my roses every six weeks during the summer, seems to work.
We do not have a garden, only a terrace… last month, ants came, but my wife got rid of them with special chalk for cockroaches
Glad your wife got rid of them. Thanks for the visit.
We have had bug problem (not sure if they’re bugs tho), not fruiting problem and death problem … :p
but still we’ve survivors in the garden … its amazing sometimes :p
Yes the bugs are part of the garden most of the time.
I do not have a garden, I have no problems! Beautiful flower! I have a small pot of sedum!?
Thanks, and glad you do have a small garden.
Bug problem is everywhere in every garden and this is problem of all time
Mine is not so bad right now but it has been.
then you are lucky enough …Chill
Yes I am chilling, have a great day!
This year, I have a lot of problems with various insects and pests in the garden … in ants, in the ears, in the Colorado bug … that we do not talk about snails … it’s a lot of moisture and it’s obviously insect insect
I wonder if the weather has anything to do with it. More rain brings more bugs maybe.
