It's common name is "Ice Plant". Here in Toronto, the plant shoots out a spectacular crown of pink star shaped flowers at the end of July/beginning of August.

Were you able to figure out if that was the seed? I tried harvesting Monarda seeds along with a few hundred others last fall but I ended up giving up on that one. <br /><br />I find seed collecting to be fascinating and am obsessed with it!<br /><br />Thanks, I really enjoyed looking through your website.<br />Sherrie<br />http://www.theseedbasket.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443767129861900915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588074949804993687.post-32645403868226237372010-08-05T06:56:11.032-07:002010-08-05T06:56:11.032-07:00Let's see... the Shastas and the Echinacea for...Let's see... the Shastas and the Echinacea for sure and then the wildflowers around here are attracting pollinators.Heather at Dusty Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04565338162713435397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588074949804993687.post-45078254271364233212010-08-03T20:12:12.990-07:002010-08-03T20:12:12.990-07:00The bees are loving the flowers on my stachys, ger...The bees are loving the flowers on my stachys, geraniums and roses.Melanie J Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265452434129642917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588074949804993687.post-77702846641894461702010-08-02T11:55:27.775-07:002010-08-02T11:55:27.775-07:00The cone flowers are a huge hit!
