Description
Found this pretty ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis) growing along the rocky sides of the path when I visited Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City, California. This succulent ground cover, also known as hottentot-fig, sour fig, or highway ice plant, is considered an invasive species in California. However, it is very hardy and grows where little else might, plus it's pretty!
