Mesembryanthemum crystallinum
A type of ice plant growing just outside a Mission.
Thank you Ava for the catch and correction.

Ava do you know the name. The family that runs the Mission in Mexico called it a cactus. The drops are from some type of sap it secretes (what we were told).
This isn't cactus; it's a type of ice plant.
Thank you Gerardo :)
Very nice!
