    Looks very much like a Sedum. Found growing wild where?

      In Ohio inside a rotting log from what I understand Palustris, apparently the river flooded and this got washed up as driftwood. It sounds like the plant grew after the lady used a log as a border edge

      Hi Ghenghis,

      I agree with Palustris. It's a Sedum. It looks very much like the one I bought a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I can't tell you the name now as it's at my moms. If I remember I'll have a look for you on Thursday when I'm next there.

      I would have said Sedum spurium (Phedimus these days) but that is not wild in the USA. Could have washed out of someone's garden I suppose.

        Thank you both very much. I've told the lady concerned and she is delighted to know what it is. Much obliged to you both

          I've had a look at my moms and it does look the same, that's a Sedum Spurium Coccinea.
          Hope that helps :)
