RE: Pigface - beautiful plant, unfortunate name.

in #pigface • 6 years ago

Speaking of beautiful plants, Pigface is the answer. However, talking about sources is rather confusing to get the right source, Sir. 😆

Why?

Because this Pigface plant has various names. In everyday life it is often called Iceplant. The scientific names are: Mesembryanthemum, Lampranthus, Carpobrotus, Dorothenanthus, and so on. And, it's very difficult to explain the similarities and differences of all.

What I know, Pigface has delicious leaves and colorful flowers, there are red, pink, orange, white, purple and all of them offer very extraordinary views.

If observed in terms of growth, Pigface likes sandy space because Pigface has long, thick roots so that the coastline is a natural habitat suitable for this plant.

When flowering, Pigface can cover the entire plant so that the leaves and stems are not visible. The flowers are open when the sun is shining, so if it's raining or at night, the Pigface flower will be closed.

Regarding its natural habitat, Pigface originates from South Africa and the coast of South Australia called "Coastal Pigface" with species of Carpobrotus virescens, Carpobrotus rossii, etc.

Thank you!
