It all depends on what you are calling an "ice plant".

It is a common name for several different unrelated succulent plants.

The plant illustrated is Delosperma nubigenum but a completely different
cultivar is described in the text. Go figure.

There are several different Delosperma being grown at DBG that were
collected unnnamed in the wild and probably all represent validly named
species but have gotten into the trade under cultivar names.

Yes. They are green and some are already in bloom (Delosperma Nubigenum). The
Delosperma Cooperii (dark pink) and the Delosperma "Kelaidis" PPAF Mesa Verde
(salmon) are greening up but have not as yet bloomed here in Denver (zone 5).

I have a Red Apple ice plant. Pic/details he
http://plantsdatabase.com/go/53485/

I bought it from a chain nursery a few years ago and kept it in a pot
for a while. It did "ok" in the pot, but I took a cutting and stuck it
in the ground about a year ago. Now I'm struggling to keep the monster
from taking over!

It really is a neat plant, but I have to watch it closely and keep it
trimmed. Bees and wasps seem to enjoy the flowers quite a bit.
