The flowers are much, much larger and very different from a Dandylion flower.

It's a really tough ground cover. The common colors here are: purple, red, pink, and yellow.

That's sounds funny from my perspective. Ice plant is commonly referred to as a freeway or park ground cover.

If you know someone who has one...just take a little cutting -- it will start growing within a week or so.
