Mountain Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum)



This wildflower is a member of the Crassulaceae (Stonecrop Family)

Widow's Cross is a close relative to this plant. This one is totally white with black seeds. Some sedums, including Roseroot and Liver Forever, are edible. In these species, the leaves are edible raw and are tender and juicy, reported to have either a sour or acid taste. Yet another example from Cedars of Lebanon.
