Carpobrotus is a water-retaining plant, widespread in coastal areas of Southern Australia and in many parts of the world. Well exposed to coastal locations, this plant is a genus of about 25 species. Its beautiful daisy-like purple flowers are common to sand-dunes and are winter to spring flowering. Some of the species have some peculiar names; you might need a vivid imagination in order to see a connection between the plant’s flower and its common name.
