Oh how pretty is this, such abundance so close to the sea. Are these plants all resistant to salt spray?

Best wishes, Erik

They are quite happy with the salt spray Erik, we call they 'ice plants' and they are some kind of succulent.


Many thanks for the kind words mon, Jen, hamzars, Patrick and Jewels.

I have read about those Carpobrotus edulis was introduced to California to stabilize soil along railroad tracks.

Ice plant thrives in southern California. People surround their property with it as a firewall to protect against wildfires; ice plant contains so much water, it does not burn.

But I see a lot of different plants (species) here. One of the might be Phlox as it is referred to in this picture

Have a good day/night I'm of to work now.

Regards, Erik
