   How big are they? Tree or flower? Where are they (Mexico, Wyoming)?

      Oops — one more — could they be a bud of something?

         They are large–the size of a hydrangea or peony.

         Oops.. didn’t answer all your questions. I found them on a low bush in Wyoming.

   I think it is the bud head of sedum. It would be helpful to see more of the foliage, but you do a search and see if I am right. They bloom in late autumn.

      It is the size of a hydrangea. Much larger than any sedum I’ve ever seen. Thanks for guessing, though!

   Looking at the pictures on Google, I think that probably is a sedum — size and color might say otherwise, but it sure looks like the same flower!

   I was going to say Sedum too! There are varieties that seem to grow to the size of a small Hydrangea bush, like Autumn Joy – a hylotelephium?

   It would definitely be a memebr of the Crassula (Crassulacea) family though. 🙂

   Love.

         Love means never having to say Sorry! 😉

         I don’t remember saying it – but that’s no longer unusual 🙂

         love
