OK, you FReeper arborists helped identify the strange pod-bearing tree in my front yard (it's a Magnolia).
Now I need help figuring out what kind of plant this is.
It's a hardy ground cover that grows crazy fast.
Bees seem to dig it, although it's not Bees' Bliss.
I've seen something similar to it referred to as an icewine plant, but that's the only real reference to that name that I can find.

It’s definitely Red Apple iceplant, don’t remember the scientific botanical name. At first I thought the picture was taken in my back yard — same kind of slope, same Red Apple. I love the stuff and it keeps the bees in plenty of pollen.
To: Luigi Vasellini
a variety, maybe. very different leaf.

Red Apple is very drought resistant, makes great ground cover, grows fast, but will attract bees.

It's mostly Labrador. My dog ate my stash. I had to follow him around with a plastic bag for a week.

Well, I’m a forester/arborist. But I don’t do ground cover. And sure as hell not in Uruguay.
