What are these things?
It’s September and I’m still finding little surprises in my yard. This is the latest:
I don’t know what it is, but a bumblebee liked it and it has huge, succulent-looking leaves that get bigger toward the bottom.
I hate this stuff:
Sorry for the shadow in the picture, but this one gave a clearer shot of the plant than all the others. I have ripped out many of these little fuckers, because they show up all over my yard where I do not want them. This patch is out front, and I left it for now because it doesn’t seem to be choking anything else out. It probably has a limited number of days left, however. I want to know what it is before I rip it out, though.
Is this lantana or mint? It’s in a shadier part of the yard than the plant I identified as lantana, and we all know how mint spreads. I honestly can’t tell, though.

I think that might be a type of sedum. I know “Autumn Joy” is pink in summer before it turns red (and bees LOVE IT), but it could be a different variety.
And that certainly looks like mint.

Yep, I looked at some pics and I think it is Sedum “Matrona”.

Aha! Sedum is, indeed, on our list of plants. Thank you!
