plz help identify this flower/plant

Hi Everyone,

I am a student a a local college and I took picture of this flower in front of my yard. I need help identify the name of this flower so I can properly title it.

Background:

This flower have a very distiquish ability, in which every day around 10AM-4PM the flower begin to bloom. Late in the afternoon and at night, the flower close up until next morning.

 

A picture of the whole plant is needed for correct Aizoaceae species identification.

 

It looks like a Lampranthus.

 

Hello,

Thank you for the help.

Here is the picture of the whole plant.

do you happen to know the common name of the flower?

 

It still looks like a Lampranthus.

Most Mesembs are commonly called "Ice Plant" but thats not going to help you any. Other succulents are commonly called that also.

 

I seem to recall Ed calling that particular one "Pigface" as well.

 

That's OK as long as he wasn't calling one of us that.

 

Yes Iceplant or pigface. Maybe Pigface is just an Aussie term...

Ed

 

Thank you very much all.
