The flower known as Pigface (Carpobrotus) grows freely on the coastal plain of WA. Indigenous Australians found that it had many medicinal properties and used it to treat bites and stings. It also (when mixed with water) alleviated stomach upsets and mouth ulcers. It's cool that the name Pigface is used for a bookshop, which provides wide-ranging medicine for the soul.

I think pigface flowers are native to the coasts of most of Australia, John. A good image and an Interesting name for a bookshop though.
