I have no idea what this plant is called. I had spotted it as a creeper in a hanging basket and it looked really nice. The plant has thick fleshy leaves, and flowers at the tip of the main stem. I took a piece to plant and to my surprise, it rooted quickly and flowered in less than 4 weeks. I'm waiting for it to grow more and be shifted to a hanging basket.In case any of you identify this plant, do let me know what it's called.

@Thanks Tyra. It is a hardy plant, and that's what I really liked. One always needs a mix of sturdy and delicate plants in a garden...
ReplyDeleteLooks like an ice plant to me. They are a succulent, love dry and sandy conditions, very drought tolerant and love to spread. There are many colours available.
ReplyDelete@Helen: Ice plant....interesting...
ReplyDeleteThanks a tonne...I wish I could get more colors. I'll plan for next summers..
Very nice plant to have here too! I can plant this whole year round. I will look out for this particular one in the nursery. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDelete@stephanie: Good if you find one...am quite happy with this one...thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteNice beautiful flower. Easy to care for, rooted and flowered quickly - just what we want in a plant! Great!
ReplyDelete@Blossom: Yes, and I hear that you find ice plant in many colors. I am hoping to get hold of a few colors and brighten my garden...thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty. Next year I wil know to get some. I saw them at the nursery but wasn't to sure wether it would do well. Good to know.
ReplyDeletePS. to answer your question from my post~ the owls are andirons that I set a pot on. Thanks for visiting.
The bloom does remind me of the Ice Plant, but the foliage is a bit larger than mine. It's a pretty one for your hanging planter that's for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteHi UG, Thanks for stopping by my blog. The snapshot for the header is beautiful. What plant is that?

http://www.finegardening.com/plantguide/genus/delosperma.aspx Has some great info on your iceplant. Tropical - does not like the cold. This was my mom's favorite plant.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking the leaf is too big for a delosperma...but I remembered having this plant a few years ago, except mine had a variegated leaf...it is called Aptenia cordifolia or Baby Sun Rose. It is a succulent plant, and is also considered an ice plant!!! Very sweet plant with the sweetest of blooms...and I love it's name!!! Unfortunately I watered mine too much, or it did not like the humidity in south Florida, and it died. I was so sad. I miss it still!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like yours is thriving!!! YEAH!
@Tufa girl: Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for the link. That's a great site to look up for information. Also, I did some research and found that the plant i have is not really an ice plant but baby sun rose.
ReplyDelete@Julie: Yes, I did a little bit of research following your visit to my blog and found that it's Aptenia or the Baby sun rose.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, my plant is doing well. Wish there was a way to send some to you...:)
Hi, its called baby sun rose (Aptenia cordifolia) I have one too! flowers all the time. A pleasure to grow.
