Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning, so you'll always remember to take a look. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

BombasticTurtle writes: The first year that I planted the Sedum ("Autumn Joy") ... I was surprised to see bleeding snow!!! It was such a beautiful sight that it is difficult to ever get it out of my mind! Very reliable and sturdy grower. Can require stalking at times, but I am content to just let it fill out to the ground for the effective display it has in winter. Love the Sedums! Posted: 12:13 pm on March 11th
