Bad luck, John, :(
Could you grow cuttings of new plants so that they don't run that risk in future?
Here is something growing in a pot labelled Delosperma sutherlandii. However I've had other delosperma seed into this pot and I wonder if this is the original or not ??? And was it correctly named in the first place?
cheers

Fermi - You forgot to attach the picture.

'Firespinner' is commonly available now and patented so best not get into trouble.  Trying to track down 'Lesotho Pink' which is reputedly hardy.  Anyone in Canada have it?

13c and a good 50mm of rain overnight.

Last year we planted a river of Delosperma cooperi, which made a stunning display. I wasn't all that surprised when it didn't survive our cold, wet and snowy winter. What was a pleasant discovery though, were the volunteer seedlings that have appeared since the dead plants were removed.
Southwestern Nova Scotia,
Zone 6B or above , depending on the year.

I found the Alpine-L posting in which Panayoti Kelaidis 11 years ago withdrew
his erroneous identifications Delosperma basuticum and Delosperma
congestum
for Malotigena frantiskae-niederlovae.
I wonder why he didn't do the same thing in different forums such as this
one and NARGS. It is now difficult to erradicate the two errors from
horticultural internet sites.

Hi all, we also growing Delospermas, various botanical species and cultivars too. I like to exchange some new plants, what we do not have. Ruschias and Lampranthus too. From Europe. Im from Slovakia.  :)

I've been trying to identify this little mesemb - the only one I've seen growing around here. This is a long shot - and it, probably, isn't even a Delosperma species! Could anyone help with an id - no matter how tentative?

A thought just occurred to me - maybe a Trichodiadema sp. (looking at the leaf tips...)?

Pronounciation of Malotigena frantiskae-niederlovae

according to Cambridge

mʌ-lɔ-tɪ-ɡe-nʌ   frʌn-tɪʃ-kʌə   niː-dər-lɔ-vʌə

according to Webster

mä-lo-ti-ge-nä   frän-tish-kaə   nē-dər-lo-vaə

Short o existing in Latin and other languages doesn't exist in English.
In no case it is the diphtong  əʊ   ō.

Rogan  - I sent a screen shot of your post off to the head guru, Steve Hammer.  Hopefully I'll get an answer back soon unless he's there in SA!

Thanks John - he'll know!

Rogan -   Steve got back to me quickly and says:

"Nice to hear from you! Just a quick quickie, I have to finish a big gnarly seed order today and should just turn this machine of temptations off. BUT the flower is exactly the sort I associate with Trichodiadema fergusoniae or Haworth's possibly synonymous T. strumosum. I don't think these spp. are Trichos, but they aren't delos either. They DO occur ca. Swellendam - Rooivlei over to Riversdale.  More after dark. " Steve

Hope this helps. The wonder of the internet Steve.

Wow, I do not know name, but it looks awesome, envy  ;D

Hi Roger,
that's really fergusoniae Trichodiadema (strumosum). Where this plant grows?
The grows very slowly in culture and gets after many years a large caudex. It needs many years after sowing until it blooms times.
Peter
