You're probably right, Kent. I thought the leaves looked toothed in the
photo. Also, in my field guide (Peterson & McKenny), the roseroot is shown
with a circle of leaves just under the blossom, making it look a bit like a
composite flower. I didn't see this in Hans' photo. Since roseroot is
coastal, and blooms earlier than orpine, so that would be another indicater.
Also, I guess orpine has more prominent central veins on the leaves. I find
the field guide's drawings to be excellent in almost all cases, but it is
difficult to identify from a photo, even such a good one as this.

Hi all,
I don't think that the succulent is Orpine, as telephium has toothed
leaves. It looks to me to be more like female dioecious Sedum rosea
(roseroot) in seed. But then I'm open to opinions as well.

Hi all.
I've posted a bunch of nature photos from recent days, highlights
#85-100 and highlights #1-3, including a lot more Showy Orchid pictures(can
you blame me?), a mystery bug, though commonly seen, mystery moss and a
mystery succulent. Note the photo of the Hermit Thrush by the water,....well
that's the trail at Crystal Crescent Beach PP after a rainfall.
