Sedum ~ Critter Saturday

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
