That one self seeded in a rockery and has survived the foul winter weather. The flower is about 1 cm. across.

Absolutely gorgeous plants Eric.

I did buy a Delosperma plant a few years ago and it flowered for a long period with lovely colours.
I kept it in a pot, but left it outdoors and of course it didn't survive.
I assume yours are in the Alpine house. Can you overwinter them reliably?
