回复 '暖冬cool夏' 的评论 : Thanks for explaining. I think I had 冰菜 before. Here it serves as a good reminder of "ice plant."

回复 '7grizzly' 的评论 : You are right, my friend. I must have mistakenly confused myself when I searched online. If we google "ice plant", on the right hand side of the page, it will appear "stone plant", with the description under the picture==" The Aizoaceae, or fig-marigold family, is a large family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing 135 genera and about 1800 species. They are commonly known as ice plants or carpet weeds."
According to this, ice plant == stone plant. Confusing:))
However if we google "stone plant" alone, the pictures popped up are mostly stone-like rockery plants, different from "ice plant" images.
So it may be safe to call it an ice plant, one of hundred genera.
But I do know what 冰菜 looks like:)) They flower too and seed later. An image from an online supermarket is borrowed below for edible ice plant (冰菜):
A group of us have been ordering from a farm some fresh vegetables in bulk, which are delivered to our city every Sunday. We tried this kind of ice plant once. This kind of ice plant itself has no taste. It is just very crispy, and has to be dipped with a mixed sauce of garlic, vinegar, sauce soy and sugar for flavor.
Thanks, my friend!

回复 '暖冬cool夏' 的评论 : Google also gives "stone plants" when I searched for "ice plant." But stonecrop's images looked quite different from your picture "长在沙地上的植物."

回复 '7grizzly' 的评论 : Hi, my friend. Thanks for your visit and the plant name and stone name. I did not know it is called ice plant until you said here. Actually the one in the picture is called "stone plant" as I googled online. See below:
"the 'Ice Plant' name applies mostly to the larger, herbaceous perennial types and 'Stonecrop' used more for the ground-hugging, rockery types".
Interestingly enough, a few years ago when we hiked on the trail by the sea, we spotted a plant very similar to what I ate (冰菜) at the banquet in China (So I actually know what it looks like:). I tasted it boldly, and it IS the ice plant (冰菜, it is sold at $5-6 per pound here from a Chinese farm), except that it is very salty as it absorbs all the salt from the sand.
Last Saturday, we attempted to find back the ice plant and pick some seeds if possible, but the trail was closed temporarily.
So I learn something from you again, my friends!

Looking at the pictures (they are great as always, BTW), jetty and ice plant came to mind, both learnt in California.
“Wherever you'd like to take me” 艾玛！暖冬的附和竟然如此令人砰然心动，别说某人，我听了也小鹿在乱撞的感觉。。。。呵呵！在海边牵着手，听大欢的带着忧伤的情歌，暖冬这是要寻找诗和远方的节奏啊！心情美美哒，难怪暖冬即便没有好相机在身，用手机还是能拍下如此的海景。。原来是爱在这里。。。哈哈！
