Ice ice baby

A native of South Africa, Delosperma cooperi is known commonly as trailing ice plant.

 

The common name of ice plant is given because the bladder-like hairs on the leaf surface reflect and refract light in a way that make it appear to sparkle like ice crystals.

 

The flowers are the most brilliant aspect of this succulent plant, a great quantity of magenta/hot pink flowers are produced that often cover the entire site.

 

Each individual flower is just 3 to 4cm in diameter.
