"Dedos" ("Fingers")

These flowers grow wild by the beach, directly in the sand.

They happily survive the harsh salty sand, extreme sun, wind and lack of moisture.

I don't know their scientific name, but everybody here calls them "Dedos" ("Fingers") because their fat leaves resemble fingers.

Each flower is about 3" in diameter.

The show was taken in:
Lat: -34.802195°
Long: -55.887610°

Hope you like it!

Nice shot. On the west coast of the US we call that Ice Plant. Grows in sandy soil and even sand.
