Many of the Mesembryanthema used in landscaping are commonly called "Ice
Plant" as are a number of cold hardy Sedum and Hylotelephium in the
Crassulaceae. Common names are really not that useful.

Is it ice plant?

Hello,
I need to identify a plant in my yard.
This plant grows creeping along the ground. The leaves are thick and
almost
rubbery to touch. The flower in the picture is just under the size of a
dime. This plant is very robust around my yard. it has popped up in
various
places quite some distance from one another.
While it's not a bad looking plant, it grows rapidly and starts to over
grow
the boundry of the dirt. (ie. starts to creep onto the path/patio). It
also
starts to choke out other plants, frequently growing throughout the
leaves
and branches of other flowers.
I live in Southern California.
Can someone please ID this plant by the picture I have posted here (same
pic, various sizes):

And if you have any background info/links on it I would also be very
appreciative.
