Deltoid-leaved dew plant (Oscularia deltoides)
Description
Oscularia deltoides is a low growing, gray succulent shrublet. This plant smothers the ground up to 1 foot (30 cm) tall, up to 3 feet (90 cm) wide with wiry dark pink stems and blue-green 3-angled fleshy leaves that have small, often reddish teeth. In spring into summer appear the small lightly-fragrant yellow-centered lavender-pink flowers that are closed up in the morning but open, often to cover the plant, in the afternoon.
