My guess is it's a succulent

Not quiet sure what the plant is Dan, but the picture is very interesting.

Please remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!

I'm guessing Begonia....looks like icing on the cake, good enough to eat! Lovely :-)

Nice photo Rich, I can't wait to see some flowers here... have a few little buds - Crocus, nothing else in the cold yet. :)

This is really a beautiful picture... you'll have to tell us what it is!! Roses? Begonias?

Gail is right! They look like frosting flowers!

I'm not sure what the flowers are but it looks like they got a light dusing of snow or maybe frost.

Great photo, Rich. Looks like hen & chicks that are planted in full sun! Am I right? Even close? LOL

My guess would be " Hen & Chicks ". Do I split the prize with Carol Smith ?

Jim - You are on the money, it is a succulent.

Michael - The form and color of the foliage make it very attractive.

Gail - The color and shape of the leaves could definitely make one think begonia. Some Sedum varieties are actually ate in salads.

April - Crocus are really nice but such early plants make you crave more; kind of like eating only one Girl Scout cookie.

Susan - Though the leave cluster do look like they could be roses, it is a Sedum.

Debi - Good enough to eat...in a salad!

Debbie - We did have snow flurries all day on Monday, after 60's and 70's last week. It melted as fast as it hit the ground. I think what you are seeing is the light playing on the shiny, waxy leaves.

Carol - Close...hen & chicks, which I think are really cool, are also succulents but of a different family.

Bill - Close but no cigar. <<<smile>>>

Thanks! I learned something today, so the day can never be a total loss! :) I like those. Might have to explore putting that on the hill in front of the house.
