Sedum living roof

Caption: Sedum living roof. A living roof insulates the building, reduces rainwater run-off and improves appearance and biodiversity. Sedum plants are used because they are drought tolerant, shallow rooting and require little maintenance. Light tubes and a skylight are also seen on the roof. Photographed at Boscombe Library, Bournemouth, UK, in April.
