What a great "in place" arrangement! The variety of warm coordinating colors in the plant and in the background rocks all blend so well together. Very nice comp you made too with the little plant in the bottom right and the flowers leaning left. I really like this, Floyd! :smile:

The stone as natural framing is unique. I like it very much. The plant is obviously a succulent, but I don't have an ID for it. Would you name it, please?

Phil,
Thanks for your comment. The colloquial name is "stonecrop". Using colloquial names are miss leading. Its scientific name is Sedum spp. The reason for the "spp", is that there are many species of Sedum. I have not been able to determine the plant's specific name.

Floyd:
Excellent contrast of elements in the is composition - Life vs inanimate, soft vs hard, round curves vs angulated fracture.
