Sedum roof, early June
Sedum roof. Image 1 of 4. Garage roof covered with deciduous Sedum sp. matting. Sedum plants are used for green roofs because they are drought tolerant, shallow rooting and require little maintenance. This image was photographed in early June.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Sedum roof in early June, serving as the first image in a series of four. The garage roof is adorned with deciduous Sedum sp. matting, which is specifically chosen for green roofs due to its remarkable qualities: drought tolerance, shallow rooting, and minimal maintenance requirements. Located in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada, this living flat covering exemplifies the harmonious blend of nature and architecture. The image captures the essence of seasonal change as it highlights the lush foliage of the Sedum plants during their vibrant phase in early summer. For those intrigued by this mesmerizing transformation throughout the warmer months, a sequence of images documenting the roof's evolution can be found from T835/0664 to T835/0667. This photograph not only celebrates the beauty and diversity found within botany but also emphasizes sustainable building practices. The extensive urban biology showcased here demonstrates how environmentally friendly design choices can thrive even in arid climates like that of British Columbia. By incorporating arid-adapted succulents into roofing technology, this Canadian structure embraces both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
