Ice plant used to be all over, but like ivy, people rid their yards of it because it was messy looking, anything dropped in it was lost forever, and snakes/mice loved living in it. Much of it was replaced with Marathon sod. I think some ice plant "writing" I did in the 80's is still on the curb at the beach where everyone waited for their moms to pick them up at the end of a long summer day, and the "writing" was all over the wall at my school. I'm sure others have "written" with ice plant.
