Our neighbor, Mr. Johnson, a plant and train collector, gave us this beauty of carmine red, 3/4ö flowers on a carpet of emerald green, heart shaped leaves.

We selected this seedling because of its slighty larger and distinctly brighter yellow flowers than ""Ice Plant, Mini Yellow."" Same tight little mound with flowers that stop blooming only when it is overwatered. Sounds like a ""Jar Gem"" to me. $ 4.29
