Flower looks like a delosperma but the foliage is smaller

Same family for sure, Aizoaceae-- but there are a lot of genera, species and cultivars!!  Seems like one of the 'ice plants' maybe Lampranthus spectabilis

It's rather like this Aizoaceae that I haven't managed to identify yet, growing with Braunsia maximiliani and Lachenalia sp. (viridiflora?) in beautiful natural rock gardens among granite boulders on the Western Cape coast.
