  1. I believe it’s a delosperma cooperi otherwise known as ice plant.

    Hard to tell from that picture, but it could also be drosanthemum or lampranthus or another one I didn’t mention. I don’t know why your other replies are so certain it’s D. Cooperi from one not great picture. Aizoaceae can look very similar. Sometimes the only way to differentiate is by seeing the seed pod. But typically Drosanthemum have a shrubbier habit and you’re right, Delosperma are typically lower to the ground.
