Continuing the theme of unfortunate plant names, Carpobrotus glaucescens or Pig Face.



This is a native weed suppressing ground cover that flowers at this time of the year. I have found this plant to be amazingly resilient, tolerating neglect and dryness but with regular watering, Carpobrotus will thrive.

Etymology:
Carpobrotus, Greek words ‘karpos’ meaning fruit and ‘brota’ meaning edible thing.
Glaucescens, Latin for light sea green passing into grayish blue.
