Janet Miller was busy in her garden this morning, planting succulent varieties in a pot that will sit in a sunny place in her yard, or, perhaps on the deck. Miller called this plant ?Hearts of Flowers,? also known as ?ice plant.? The botanical name is aptenia cordifolia, and is native to South Africa.
