	Ice plant
		Ice plants are often used in southwestern landscapes because they are very interesting, drought-tolerant plants that produce beautiful flowers all summer.
		They are called ice plant because they have bladder-like hairs on the leaf surface that reflect and refract light in a manner to make it appear that they sparkle like ice crystals.
		Since the name ice plant is a "common name" rather that a scientific name, it is applied to many different plants that may appear to sparkle.
