I agree, Mesembryanthemum is a mouthful, & some shorten it to just Mesembs, and also, "Pigface" is not the most romantic name to use if offering these flowers to a loved one. But they are stunning flowers, and I like to think of Miss Piggy when talking about these plants, because she's just one smashing sow. With respect Missy Piggy, if you're reading this. Best. :)Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550514571430359240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-27224614064096452232012-10-19T05:24:54.608+11:002012-10-19T05:24:54.608+11:00Jamie, thank you for sharing the pics of your neig...Jamie, thank you for sharing the pics of your neighbours plants. I'm a big fan of Ice Plant and late last year bought 3 different colours. Talk about bright and beautiful. I planted them in my front nature strip(I did a 'Costa' and dug up my lawn and converted it to garden!) everyone comments on how cheerful they are and they have certainly been a bargain buy and of course just thrive in their position in the hot afternoon sun.dirtgirlnoreply@blogger.com
