Spearleaf Stonecrop-Sedum lanceolatum

This bright yellow flower generally doesn't grow more a few inches high, but the colorful flowers beg for attention. It's spearleaf stonecrop, also called lanceleaf stonecrop and narrowleaf stonecrop (Sedum lanceolatum), a member of the Stonecrop Family (Crassulaceae). 

The basal leaves are succulent, and the stem leaves alternate. The flowers usually grow in groups on gravelly soils from 6,000 to 11,000 feet.
