A few Delo flowers on some cuttings struck in late autumn.

D. basuticum - the name is tentative but certainly the only one that can take anything, anywhere in Nova Scotia.
D. 'Jewel of Desert Garnet'
D. 'White Wonder'

Looking for a pinch of Delosperma sphalmanthoides ssed....

Lovely pink there Albizia julibrissin. ;)

Good news, Panayoti's Delosperma 'Firespinner' has survived the ice and wretched snow of the past winter out on the coast here.  While I lost mine I may have hastily declared it tender, no doubt a check of the soil may well find some peat or bark and after a foot of rain in December it would be no surprise it collapsed in late January before winter set in in earnest.

'Firespinner' and basuticum were planted in both gardens in autumn and both look like winners.  Now that I know 'Firespinner' flowers but once I am quite looking forward to the show.

Delosperma basuticum was precisely described by Louisa Bolus.
There exists no similarity between this species and the plant
depicted. Check bladder cells shape, flower colour, etc.
I wonder why Americans so firmly insist on their delusions,
and force them to other nations as revealed truth.

I bought this little succulent at the Easter plant market in South Australia as "Little Pink Pigface",
does anyone recognise it and will it survive frosts?
cheers

This yellow Delo I posted has been sold under many names here - basuticum, congestum, Golden Nugget come to mind.  As mentioned I have a "sp. ?" on my label.  Harvey Wrightman was selling a white form of what appears to be the same plant at the Annapolis Rare Plant Sale as basuticum (white form).  I wonder if his is White  Nugget. Rudi?  It is one tough mesemb.   johnw

I can find the record for  Delosperma aberdeenense (L.Bolus) L.Bolus  from Kew , which tells me that this  is "the accepted name of a species in the genus Delosperma (family Aizoaceae).

The record derives from WCSP (in review) (data supplied on 2012-03-23) which reports it as an accepted name with original publication details: Notes Mesembryanthemum 1: 135 1928."

I asked  before - in 2011-  where the "Aberdeen" part comes from - http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=3795.msg207706#msg207706 - and Josef helpfully replied  that :
Maggi,
There exists a place called Aberdeen Road in Eastern Cape

johnw, your D. basuticum Malotigena is a Malotigena frantiskae-niederlovae.
The white form is an elite of the yellow plant. No hybrids.

I saw the Delosperma name changes in the recent edition of The Plantsman.  However I am not changing any labels here until we hear how Steve Hammer, the Mesemb man, weighs in.

A few shots of my Delosperma 'Firespinner' before (#1) and after (#2) the winter.

And the likely cause of its demise, a newly purchased Delosperma 'Kelaidis' from Monrovia grown in a "one size fits all" mix - peat/bark/ perlite   - a truly deadly mix for Mesembs come winter.  Had I bare-rooted my late 'Firespinner' 100% instead of 80% the story could well have been quite different.
