Known as Western Sea Purslane, but from the Aizoaceae Family. Although reported from South America, this species is found mainly on saline or alkaline ground in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico.

Happily blooming along the high tide line on a little sandy Intracoastal Waterway beach. Sea purslane is reportedly edible and nutritious, but a bit salty tasting. I prefer to admire it's beauty and appreciate it's role as a beach stabilizer. Sea purslane is pantropical in distribution and extremely salt tolerant. It propagates mainly via vegetative fragments and these floating fragments have allowed it to spread around the world's beaches.

For comparison with the corresponding Lithops glow image in this set.Lithops are extremely succulent plants originating from the semi-deserts of southern Africa. Their plant body rests under ground, while on top they have transparent windows to let sunlight in for photosynthesis. A camouflage pattern on the windows lets them appear more or less like a pair of pebblestones, so hungry animals may hardly find them. I like them because they look like ornamented knobs or gemstones.This one grew in the nursery of Uwe Beyerand I ordered it by mail from his webshop
