Sedums (Crassulaceae) in Tennessee

Sedum species are in the Crassulaceae Family. There are three Sedum species you may see on your wildflower hikes or maybe even in your yard. Especially if you live in Wilson County Tennessee. Sedum species literally grow right on the rocks! 

You can tell where every rock on my farm is right now because of the Widow's Cross, Glade Stonecrop (Sedum pulchellum) growing all over them. They are really pretty right now.

In the Cedar Forest you might also come across a white sedum called Wild Stonecrop, Mountain Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum).

 If you live in Polk county and know where to look, you might also come across Nevius' Stonecrop (Sedum Nevii). This one is really rare. It is endangered in Tennessee. I was really lucky to get this picture.
