Found in a field... Identify?

19 years ago

I was riding my bike in a gravelly/sandy lot near my house, and realized they were getting ready to start construction on something. (don't know what yet)

While riding, I noticed a forest green succulent with pink flowers that grow out of fuzzy buds. I rode back to the house and got my shovel and some pots and rescued this unusual plant thinking it might have some potential as a ground cover, since it is less than 4" tall and seems to spread like one.

The shape of the "leaves" reminds me of a bloated rosemary, but has no scent. The stalks are reddish.

It grows in sand and rock that comes together in a nearly concrete like consistancy. I'm amazed the things survived being uprooted, and I took the soil they were in and tried to mix it in a way that imitated what they were growing in before. Sand over silt over rock.
