Yellow Stonecrop
Crassulaceae (Stonecrop Family)
Foothills, mountain, subalpine, alpine. Rock, gravel openings. Summer.
The rich maroons and yellows of Yellow Stonecrop are easily spotted, for the plant commonly grows on open rock and gravel thriving in full sunlight and heat. The tiny, bulbous-looking, red-purple fleshy leaves appear at first to be some scattered bits of fungus. They elongate to about four inches and are topped by bright yellow buds and then flowers.
