Stone crop, also known as Sedum acre, is a fascinating plant that can be found in various parts of the world. One such example is depicted in Curtis British Entomology Plate 379, where the biting stone-crop showcases its unique features. This particular species, with the scientific name Umbilicus Chrysanthus (Cotyledon Chrysantha), adds to the diversity of nature's flora. In North America, specifically Washington and Glacier National Park in Montana, we can find another variety called lance-leaved stonecrop or lanceleaved stonecrop. Its presence enhances the beauty of these regions and highlights the rich biodiversity found there. Moving across continents to gardens in the United States, Kamchatka Stonecrop flourishes beside a cascading water feature. The vibrant flowers bring life and color to this serene setting. Meanwhile, reflexed stonecrop graces Mount Acuto in Balestrino, Savona Province, Liguria during June. Its blooming flowers create a picturesque scene against Italy's stunning landscape. Back on English soil during July, biting stonecrop blooms both in Breckland Norfolk and on Chesil Beach in Dorset. These coastal locations provide an interesting contrast for this resilient plant. Lastly but not leastly is Sierra Stonecrop flowering amongst rocks at Lakes Basin within California's majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range. This hardy sedum species demonstrates its ability to thrive even under challenging conditions. Whether it be on entomological plates or amidst breathtaking landscapes around the world - from Europe to North America - stone crop continues to captivate us with its resilience and natural beauty.
