I recently learned a trick for kids about Autumn Joy Sedum.

Pick a leave, put the leave between your thumb and index finger and rub till you seperate the enough of the top and bottom of the leaf.

Then blow into the leaf, and you have a little leaf balloon.

I bought my Autumn Joy Sedumns on Ebay, and first researched the plant on the net. I read it somewhere.. and I can't remember. LOL

When we were kids we were pick the Honeysuckle and taste them, and also make Hollyhock dolls, so I suprised to find a child hood trick I hadn't done in child hood.
Wish I could remember where I read it now.

It is one of the reasons I went ahead and bought them.

10 bare root plants on ebay were 9.99, and each one is growing faster then expected. It's a wondeful plant so far. And looking forward to next year to try the *ballons* with my daughter.

Hi Nature Girl :)

hehe Glad you like. Can't wait to try them. Just had to share the tip for kids and us adults who like to do this stuff. *G
