Natal Creeping Fig

The Natal Creeping Fig (Carpobrotus dimidiatus) are found in coastal areas from the South East of South Africa and all the way up to Mozambique. Its a succulent which grows very easily and is often very popular as a ground cover in landscaping.
The flowers are magenta and its close relative is the Sour Fig (Carpobrotus edulis) which looks very similar but has yellow flowers.

  2. Oh I remember those growing in our garden as kids in the Free State. Always reminded me of sea anenomes for some reason – maybe the skinny, soft petals. Very pretty!
