Sedum Reds

Sedum flourished beneath the holly bound pale green succulent formed mounds atop thick stems and leaves groomed aside the roses now out of bloom, where chrysanthemums began to bud and fill the earthen browning ground displays upon the hills. September days inched in, sun out of reach summer suddenly at its ending peek and green became a hue of rosy pink delights calling hummingbirds and butterflies from flight where scented fragrances faded with the winds and autumn turned the leaves to yellowed orange fringe Wild finches whistled thru the cloudy days taking seeded coneflower treats away while squirrel chatter reveled fighting steals knowing winter comes with chilly lack of appeal and each day ends with the sedum turning crimson red and creatures large and small hunker down within their beds.
