Santa Rosa Gardens has them. I have also found them at Lowes.
Here's Delosperma Jewel of Desert 'Moonstone' taken this morning.

Question: how far in advance to you see buds before bloom? some of my 'fire spinners' formed large mats last year (from small plugs), and are around 12x12 inches now.....no buds in sight yet and we've had temps in the 80's x 10 days now. I'm starting to wonder if they will bloom this year.....thoughts? Thanks, Clint!

The buds on Fire Spinner were not apparent until right before they opened. They are just now getting going. I think they will bloom though. If you want lots of blooms, these two can't be beat.

'Peridott' and 'Topaz'

Wow, Clint your delosperma garden must be quite a display of "fireworks" (your pics of blooms remind me of firework bursts...to celebrate the end of all your hard work?) Smiling

I think I like 'Peridott' and 'Topaz' better than fire spinner.

To me, Firespinner does not look like the pictures. I was expecting something more red. Blinking

I think I have about 10 varieties. I'll have to count. Some didn't do well here.

Clint, looks like your different colors of delos are planted next to each other? Any chance of seeing pic of entire area of delosperma bed? Big Grin

This is an edging of one bed. The rest are in the back yard in partial shade. This is an experiment just to see which varieties do well in my area. The Jewel of Desert series does well in part shade here. It's kind of like a trial to me. I do like these together though. I'm sure some people wouldn't though. LOL. It's difficult to get them all in the photo. I have three different beds. The purple, lavender, and rose tinted ones are in that photo. The white and pink are in another bed. The red, orange, and yellow are in another bed. I like 'Lavender Ice' with 'Blut' because it has the color in the center that matches.

My avatar is called Jewel of Desert 'Ruby'. I'll probably mix a few 'Moonstone' cuttings in there. It looks good with these.

Yes, I think so too. I have the 'Moonstone' too but it's in with my sempervivum bed. I like the neutral color of Moonstone's flowers to hopefully provide nice backgrd to my semp colors.
