yes one of the iceplant ... for rocky sandy california coast soils...
has extensive network of roots... acts to save soil from erosion..
even when itself is dried out and shrivelled... better than most
grasses... more welcome too..because of the flowers and green
foliage...

Beautiful flower. I had this plant bought from Kerala. It is very good for hanging baskets also.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Mani.
