Heartleaf Ice Plant, nee Baby Sunrose, nee Red Apple Ice Plant
I have loved ice plant ever since I first spied it in CA and brought cuttings back to my greenhouse room in Wyoming. I have been known to pull off the hiway to pinch off a chain of ice plant. The beach was another favorite gathering place. Now I live surrounded by it–growing from planters, along sidewalks and crawling over pumice grinding stones hundreds of years old.
See Cee’s and other flowers of the day HERE.
I can certainly see where its name comes from. Those leaves really are heart-shaped. And a lovely succulent it is. I wouldn’t mind growing some myself.

Love the textured pumice background in your photos of the ice plant. Beautiful contrast to the other vivid colors. Keep thinking of moon rocks.

They are prehispanic grinding stones. I love their texture, too.
