Delosperma – early flowers, take 2

As mentioned in the previous post my Delosperma plants are currently flowering. The latest addition to the flower feast is Delosperma nubigenum (Sani Pass, 2900m, Lesotho) boasting buttery yellow flowers.

The plant is forming a compact mat and has – like my other Delosperma plants – grown considerably in the year I’ve had it.

Last week the Delosperma sp. (Sani Pass, Lesotho) plant was completely hidden by flowers; most of these have withered and the plant is now visible again.

Since last week the Delosperma sp. (Drakensberg) plant has unfolded all its flower buds and now forms a carpet of purple flowers.

Now I’m just waiting for my Delosperma 'John Proffit' to flower.
