Golden Yellow Pigface - Thornbury - a photo on Flickriver

            Carpobrotus, commonly known as pigface, ice plant, sour fig, and Hottentot fig, is a genus of ground-creeping plants with succulent leaves and large daisy-like flowers. The name refers to its edible fruits, “karpos” meaning fruit and “brota” meaning edible in Greek. Common names include ice plant and pigface, so called because the flower resembles a pig's face.  I personally don't see that myself, even when looking at the yellow variety of pigface!

Spring has finally spung in Melbourne, and with a few mild and sunny days and some recent heavy rain, the gardens of Melbourne's suburbs have awoken from their winter slumbers and burst into an array of beautiful colours in many different floral forms.
