Traveling along the Mediterranean, you can see flowering succulents blooming like stars everywhere. Let's take a look~

At Gaudi's Park Guell in Barcelona, why does the scene I photographed have a bit of a South African feel to it?

I found the succulents!!! But it's just the Carpobrotus edulis that everyone overlooks. The sunlight was too harsh, too harsh, the photos had color casts and color mixing, a complete mess, but the colors were just right too.

I ran off to Seville, and it turns out the street landscaping here uses succulents too.

I wandered to the westernmost point of the European continent - Cape Roca in Portugal. Oh my god!

I believe every flower lover would be shocked! The lawn here is actually paved with succulents! One glance and it's all succulents! The green succulent carpet is covered with yellow flowers, stretching all the way to the distant blue Atlantic Ocean~

The name of this succulent is - Carpobrotus edulis.

Although this is just an ordinary variety, the quantity is truly astonishing. I wish I could roll around on this flower carpet!!! Luckily I came to my senses early, otherwise if I unfortunately rolled to the edge, I would definitely roll down the succulent carpet to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean

Staying by the sea in Caparica, a small town on the outskirts of Lisbon, my search continued without pause.

The small town is quiet and peaceful. In the residents' courtyards, succulents fill every pot and container. I only took a close-up of the flowers, after all, it's nothing particularly special.

These succulents grow vigorously, and their stems have already become woody, which shows how suitable the climate here is for succulent growth (unlike the smoggy Shanghai).

What stays in my memory is not only these brilliant flowers, but also the dazzling sunshine here and the blue sea, blue sky, and white walls.

Carpobrotus edulis:

A perennial succulent of the genus Carpobrotus in the family Aizoaceae, also known as sour fig, Hottentot fig, sea fig, and ice plant, etc.

Native to Africa, with thick juicy leaves and peculiar leaf shapes, it is now widely introduced and planted along the coasts of the United States and the United Kingdom and the Mediterranean coast.

The flowers are very brilliant

The fruit tastes sour, astringent and salty, and often makes it onto the [Top Ten Dark Fruits List]. If not eaten in time, the fruit becomes very hard, dark reddish-brown, and slowly rots on the branches.

It really doesn't look very tasty either~

I wonder if anyone has the urge to try growing Carpobrotus edulis?

Such an easy-to-grow succulent will surely grow into a sea of flowers too~
