Description


In Madeira, a small and hence inconspicuous, but yet remarkable succulen plant is the Ice Plant ( Mesembryanthemum crystallinum). The whole plant is covered with sparkling, water-filled, unicellular hairs, which cause the "icy" appearance! Thank you for your comments on my previous upload: thumb_1828044.jpg "Hydrangea (Hortensia)"

I have discovered there are many varieties of ice plant. This is one that is really very stunning. I have another type in my yard that covers a large area and is typically found on the Pacific coast. I have yet to see it bloom but I see it used in highway landscaping and that is ALWAYS in bloom! But not nearly as beautiful as this.
