What an amazing mix of colors. That's incredible. Thanks for sharing Mauna. BTW, I never got back to you. I was in Mt Ranier National Park September 23-24, 2021. What a beautiful place. I hope to do it again.

Oh! Which sedum species do you often see over there, Mark?

Thank you so much, Brian! Happy you agree; will update the ID now.

Beautiful! I'm leaning toward S. divergens. I've struggled with stonecrop ID's at times as well. By process of elimination, the other Cascade species really don't look like this. Super Pic, Mauna!
