delosperma & aizoaceae

[Maggi Young]

Josef, is the foliage of "Hogan" always so dark- it seems to e a dark purple/red?

[Great Moravian]

Under construction
I produced hybrid plants between Delosperma holzbecherorum as mother
and Delosperma parentum as father.

The plants are uniform and resembling the father species habitually,
leaves are of course considerably longer.
Consequently, neither of the parents is hybrid.
Accordingly, 'Pink Zulu' might be of hybrid origin, one parent being Delosperma parentum
and the other possibly Delosperma roseopurpureum.

Maggi, not always. It was photographed in the autumn and was nearly black.
In shade it is usually green-red to green-brown.
I therefore added a greener one.

Some of Thompson & Morgan's 'hardy delospermas'
I didn't plant them out last year but took cuttings in the late summer and planted the old plants in a shallow ceramic pot which sat outside on the front doorstep all winter.  Only one, the orange one, died.  'Pink Ribbon' is particularly good.

Beautiful hybrids. I have also.

Delosperma hybrids

Delosperma 'Badenia Red'




Delosperma 'Eye Candy'




Delosperma 'Mesa Verde'




Delosperma 'Pink Ribbon'




Delosperma 'Orange Topas'




Delosperma 'Rise and Sun'



The names are interchangeable. There are no registered varieties.
But they are beautiful.

Any ideas which Delosperma this might be?  A friend got it recently, no idea if it is winter hardy here.

I thought it was Badenia Red until I compared the petal tips and judging by the petal count I suspect it is a seedling.

@John,


Your plant looks like "Pink Ribbon". Since all hybrids, there are no rules.

[Kovacs Pal]

Dear Peter,

Have you got any experience about hardiness of the above mentioned Delosperma hybrids?

Thanks
Pal

[Peter II]

Everyone must test that out. Everyone has different conditions.
Never Rely on the statement: hard. This is only extremely rarely.

[Great Moravian]

On 31.08.2013 Delosperma seanii-hoganii Niederle was recombined to
Ectotropis seanii-hoganii (Niederle) H.K. Hartmann & C. Schröder, comb. nov. (Bradleya 31: 137).
If you prefer calling Delosperma alpinum by the original Ectotropis alpina,
you should use the latter combination.
It is a thing of personal taste.

Peter,
your Delosperma hybrids remind me of a few we bought on our visit to see Paul T in Canberra;
They are all called Delosperma cooperi
with gemstone names for the diffeent colours:
Moonstone, Garnet and Ruby!
There was also another one which was called Drosanthemum speciosum Kliprand
cheers

Now flowering:
Faucaria tuberculosa

This was grown from SRGC Seedex 2008 as Delosperma cooperi,
