Ground creeping plants, with succulent leaves and large daisy-like flowers posted just for Perriette!

The name refers to the edible fruits. There are four Australian species which are seen mainly in coastal areas, particularly on sand dunes near the ocean.

These look like a succulent we have in California, commonly called ice plants. They are beautiful.

Poor Undead Enigma, having a tormented tantrum :(

Thankyou, you should be honored Perriette! I posted on a Thursday even when EXTRA BUSY :) You tried smelling those Minor Flannels and sucked them into your nostrils - didn't you!

Ice plants is a beautiful name Red Mojo! The common name we call these are Pig Faces! You need to use your imagination :)

Even when I use my imagination I cant figure out why we call them that - but - perhaps thats okay! Tehehe Im going to ignore undead ;) Now that pink is simply divine - another intense pink! But they wouldnt be so 'hot' if they didnt have thier creamy yellowy friends to help show them off :)
