Post by Wynette: We’ve been seeing ice plant all along the way but we saw a lot more of it on today’s walk. We learned that (1) it is native to South Africa and (2) it blooms here between April and June. So, we are lucky to be here when it is blooming. We learned on a previous trip that it is an invasive plant here, crowding out native species, so I feel guilty for enjoying it. It does seem that where the ice plant is thick you see very little diversity in the flora.
