delosperma & aizoaceae

[Peter II]

Delosperma robustum (versicolor)





Delosperma floribundum x herbeum




These photos are from the year 2008.

All Delosperma and Trichodiadema fit in the summer very well in a rock garden or a special part of alpinum.

[Martin Tversted]

Every year I have 3 lines of species and their hybrids germinating in my garden. In the rockery, in pots with reused soil (I change plant family when I reuse it) in the lawn, among the stauden and even in my bog. Its a line with cooperi (big and smaller forms, the smaller being the hardies, the bigger being huge annuals), sutherlandi (often rather ugly hybrids but the true species come clean as well) and herbeum (in pink, white, bigger and smaller flowers etc). Of the latter an apperently intermediate form with floribundum germinated this year. Its strange as it a few years ago I had a floribundum. Will post a photo soon.

I just searched my seeds and have found very interesting remains of Delosperma. Including D. linear (real), crassuloides, raynoldsii. 
Let's see if the germinate.

A yellow-green-leaved nuggetoid hybrid or mutant, maybe Delosperma nubigena as the other parent.
Its fruits lie on the plant, their stalks aren't embraced in the basal parts of leaves
as in the nuggetoid plants are. The right plant is the hybrid or mutant.

sutherlandi (often rather ugly hybrids but the true species come clean as well)

The copyright to the original image of Delosperma sutherlandii receptacle certainly expired.
Therefore I can add it for comparison. Notice the gigantic stigmas on raised ovary top.
It is impossible to attach images. So no receptacle.

The ability to attach photos has been temporarily disabled to allow essential upgrades to the Forum. This will only be for a day or two.

Maggi,
Thank you for the explanation.

[Great Moravian]

The sutherlandii receptacle. Gigantic stigmas terminating in hair-like points are fixed on the raised ovary top.
The tissue surrounding the ovary was clearly removed. Martin should check his plants
and if their receptacles are similar, add their images for comparison.

I adopted the usage receptacle=hypanthium and am interested in its interior
including the top of ovary and stigmas.

Delosperma ecklonis 2009




Delosperma aff. hollandii




Delosperma luteum

Not my preference, but maybe interesting for you.

 Thank you, interesting photos. I suppose these would appeal to bonsai growers as well as succulent fans.

The following certainly.

My goodness! And rather an interesting story of the little plant in the greek stone from Zakynthos, too.

Delosperma oehleri hybrid

[Great Moravian]

You are perfectly informed about my approach to Delosperma brunnthaleri which is of course available at
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3795.msg156584;topicseen#msg156584

Maggi,
The change of directory names smf to forum makes all references to the forum, internal and external,
obsolete. It is really not pleasant. Resurrection of smf would be the optimal solution.
