245/365. Carpobrotus rossii - purple pigface, another name is ice plant.
Totally unplanned; here is another fine example of Australian bush tucker. Yes took this shot today at lunch time while the bright spring sun was out. Tomorrow it’ll be raining so I’m glad I caught it.
Bright purple native groundcover flowering succulent familiar to anyone in coastal Queensland. Excellent for rockeries, dry poor soils, waterwise gardens, stabilising soils. Spreads while keeping low, great colourful groundcover for xeriscaping. Fruits and leaves are edible - "carpobrotus" means edible fruit.
