Look at what started popping up 3 days ago - not your stardard daisy (long stems) - these are short stemmed called shasta daisies:

Do they look like they are made out of paper?? We have a similar plant here....cool!

Roland...you have lights in your beds??
Yes, the ones I know are like orange and purple and they look like little paper lanterns.

Here's a third sedum. Less of a ground cover than the other two, this one's called 'donkey tail'. However the flower does resemble the other two types a sedum. Think we bought this one from Bill in Paris.

Photo taken two days ago.
