Lol, this plant really goes by many names. And you need to be a bit careful when handling it.

Quote:  The Oyster Plant is succulent looking, it can be used to make a dense groundcover.
As other plants in the same family, the watery sap can provoke allergic reaction. Avoid having any on your skin.   'Compacta' and 'Vittata' are 2 common cultivars.

    Underbara bilder! Kontrasten mellan den vita blomman och de färgstarka bladen är slående.

    The flower is as beautiful as the name. It's a new one I'd not heard before. You've done a great job with the photos once again!

    I have seen the plant before.
    Salsify is a hardy biennial that is grown as an annual vegetable. Am I right?

    What an interesting little flower! My favourite shot is the second one - maybe the stamens appear more delicate in that one...
    I can't imagine using a plant like this as ground cover...
