Thank you, everyone. Your comments make me smile--you can put into words just what the picture evokes. Smiling

How appropriate that this banner was used today---we just got about 5-6 inches of snow yesterday. I've been getting a good workout shoveling snow yesterday and today.

The banner picture was taken in fall after an early light snow. The sedum was bright green in color so I thought it made an interesting contrast. And I love the texture. I hope the foliage remains green. When I bought the plants this summer, the tag simply said "brilliant yellow flowers" and "attractive foliage." It did not say the foliage was yellow. Later I read that this cultivar (Golddigger) has yellow foliage (I'm not a fan of yellow foliage--except as an autumn color).
