We were heading away from Tapanui one misty morning and given it’s now mid-summer this was unusual. We hadn’t gone far, Crookston for those who know the area, when I spotted a blob of very bright yellow at gutter level on the corner of a building – which made me ask Nigel to stop and go back. We found the building to be a decrepit old garage adorned with sedum flowering brightly in golden yellow. Same building with the spooky window that was in my post BOO!

It’s great to see how plants can make the most of quite unpromising spaces!

I love sedum. It grew over the little wall in my great-grandmother’s garden where she used to sit. I remember how she used to stroke it as if it was a cat or dog before she sat down on it 🙂
