    Hi
    I recently photographed this plant among the rocks at French Creek just north of Parksville. These plants were among the rocks leading down to the waters edge. Some plants had red tips and others were green.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers
    Stew

    Sedum acre does look similar but you are right, the tips are not the same.
    Thanks

    It doesn't look anything at all like Sedum acre.

    Probably introduced Petrosedum (formerly Sedum) forsterianum but cannot be sure until it blooms. Also compare with Sedum stenopetalum and S. lanceolatum.

    Thanks Cereusly Steve
    I followed up on your suggestions and I think that you may be correct with Petrosedum Forsterianum. To be certain, I'll go back in a month or so to check out the flowers. I am putting a similar image, one that has some reds showing up, on my website and want to be as accurate as possible with identifying the images.

    Cheers
