Small Sedum @ Tanger Bicentennial Garden - Texture

When I was at the Tanger Bicentennial Garden a week ago, I took an image of this small sedum.  These plants are not very big.  I did not have my Ollie Clip 4 in one macro lens with me which may have been interesting to use.  There is a lot of texture and design here.  Believe it or not, I did not do any post editing.  This is the way the camera saw it. This may be the first image that I did no editing when I posted to the blog. Now, Scott Kelby believes that every image needs sharpening.  This may be an interesting shot after it has rained.   I don't think Greensboro is going to get any more snow now.  Will see if we get snow by Dec. 3lst when this challenge ends.   .

"Angelina" sedum - Winter foilage

Last week at the Legacy Garden@ the Guilford Co. Ag. Center,  I found this plant with very colorful foliage for the winter months. I said I was going to try some different venues than flower & flora but they keep calling my camera for a closer look. My friend, Elaine, got a Master Gardener to help ID the plant. I really want one of these for my garden but sounds like this plant may be hard to come by.  It is a Sedum called Angelina".  I did minimal editing.  I may try some other apps later.  The LED screen was in bright sun and I did not notice the leaf at the top  but I would not have wanted to crop the image closer.  If I have a chance this winter, it would be a great picture with a little snow and the foilage peeping up above it. This web site has some interesting info about plants. http://awaytogarden.com/a-plant-id-order-sedum-angelina/
