What's the last flower called?? Does it have a dark stem and leaves that seem more like a succulent than regular flowers?

Its called sedum and yes, it has a thick succulent stem in the spring and summer. It blooms in late August and September a brilliant pink and then turns darker through the fall. It is so easy to grow and fills a large area. All you do is break a stalk off and stick it in the ground and you have another plant. I have posted many photos of these through the year.

I didn't notice it earlier. We found one in the yard maybe that's why it caught my attention this time.

It's good to know what it is called and how to propagate. You are a wonderful source of inspiration.

It's probably too late to propagate now??? Does it come right up in early spring??

Let it go through the winter like it is and it will come up in the early spring all green and fun with babies close to it. You can break off a bigger section or dig those after the threat of frost.
