  • Question

    This tiny succulent plant was found in the Helderberg Escarpment, NY. Since it doesn't have a flower at this time I haven't been able to find it. I thought you might have better luck. (i.e. more experience) Thank You

    Answer

    Dear Auntie, your plant looks like Sedum sarmentosum (stringy stonecrop), one of the few species of stonecrop in the eastern US with whorled leaves. It will have yellow flowers when it matures if this hypothesis is correct.
