The most common Ice plant along the freeways in Calfornia

Love the colour of this one.

I remember this stuff. When we lived in Orange county this stuff was everywhere. Lots of colors and very pretty.

Thank for the comments!

Yes, Wohlibuli it is everywhere. They are a good grounds cover for the sides of the freeways. As a landscape ground-cover they tend to get a lot of diseases or die-back and many bugs and rodent love to live in them. They are so widely used because they are drought tolerant and grow very quickly.

Looks like a sea anemone :)

Yes, they do look a lot like a sea anemone...and they act like one also.
The flowers close up at night and open during the day.

Marguerite, Thanks!
