Anybody confirm the Identity of this Plant

[charlievictorbravo]

Walking the dog today, I came across this plant near the Tamar. It was growing in a wild situation but it could have escaped from a garden above the cliff.



Anybody recognise it?

It’s a sedum/stonecrop.

Google has photos of Sedum (Stonecrop) but they have five petals in all of the examples - my plant has six petals. Does this exclude sedum as a possible identity?

Six petals

If you ant to be able to identify plants, animals, insects and fungi download this to your smartphone.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seek-by-inaturalist/id1353224144It's pretty useful.

Edit. That's the Apple version, I believe it's available for other phones as well.

Six petals

Looks like 7?

Looking at your photo CVB, some flowers have five petals, some have six. This seems to be consistent with online images of Stonecrop, including one from the Encyclopaedia Brittanica which asserts 'usually five petals' illustrated by a photo with a mix of five and six, like yours.

With its mixture of petals, it's proving attractive to bees.
