White stonecrops on a rocky shoreline on Vancouver Island. This plant intrigues me every time I see it. Apparently it is an introduced species from Eurasia.

Close-up of dozens of white stonecrops, a weird-looking plant that is difficult for me to describe. I have found this description on a scientific website. General description: Perennial herb from a stout rhizome; mat-forming; stems decumbent to ascending, several, branched above, 10-20 cm tall/long, glabrous. Description of the leaves: Stem leaves alternate, smooth, evergreen, 6-12 mm long, nearly round in cross section, linear-oblong to ellipsoid, succulent, unstalked, usually broadest above the midlength and tapered to the base, usually somewhat flattened.
