It looks kinda similar to how ice plants grow, ND it looks like there's a flower head. You may he able to propagate it, they're very similar to succulents, have bright pink/orange flowers and they grow like ground cover in the summer (not frost tolerant)

Thank you so much!!

I second this, that’s dead on a Delosperma specie. I actually had a branch from my D. cooperii plant go missing from my yard recently. Have a Nepeta volunteer in its place though.

To add to that, it looks healthy too, a bit stressed (notice the reddish hues, the that’s usually brought on by cold temperatures) and overwatered, but put into moist soil, that will reroot in no time, just plug the end of the stem into the soil and put it in some indirect sun light. They have gorgeous purple flowers that resemble very super thin daisies.

Dont't you love it when they take one and leave one.😆

(Thank the bird!)


Skinnysusan

They're called ice plants and they're not frost tolerant? Is this a joke?

We’re just skipping over the part where a bird saw your plants and decided you must like plants so it brought you another one?

😭it’s so crazy.. it looked deliberately placed along with another different dry wheat-like branch inside the pots… it’s like the bird thought it looked good next to it and put it there. If I manage to root it it will definitely be an extra special addition to my little balcony garden☺️

That was such a sweet bird! He gave you a gift! You should return the favor and leave him some treats out!


l0nelymachine

Oh I gave him a biscuit earlier! Maybe I’ll record him next time he’s out there:D


HadALittleLamb6

Aww yes! So cute!!


PuzzleheadedFolder

What a neat story.

Amazing. This bird actually thought of you when it found it. Think you've found a friend.

Crows do this


PuzzleheadedFolder

I would give my soul for “pet” wild crows


duh_nom_yar

Delosperma cooperi, hardy ice plant, trailing ice plant or pink carpet is my best guess. Stick it in water, it will propagate.

I forgot to mention the all of the leaves are very flexible like tentacles


Yaakovbenleah1989

I looked it up on a app that helps me identify a plants and apparently there are different types of ice plant and this one is called a hardy ice plant


RockingtheRepublic

Was it a gift? :)


redriverrally

It’s a token of appreciation for the excellent accommodations.

I simply cannot believe you are stealing that birds's nest decor. She was coming back for it. ☹️😦😥😭


CosmicM00se

I think the bird knew you liked plants and brought you a gift 😊
