I have one that is blooming like crazy right now. It's one I brought back from Denver last month. I'll take a photo of it this morning and post it.

Ok. Maybe this will change as summer gets going good. I have 'Fire Spinner' all over the place. I have been rooting cuttings. They are a good grower, but so far...NO Blooms at all. LOL.

I have 'Eye Candy' and 'White Pearl'. They aren't growing as well as my other plants. I want 'Perfect Orange', 'Pink Ribbon,' and 'Rise and Shine' but can't find them anywhere.

I love the nonstop flowering of delosperma. I just bought one (Delosperma Osberg White) this weekend to go with my Cooperi. Lovey dubby I also bought several other plants to go with my new semp garden. Now, if only I can remove the rest of the grass and start working on the new bed. The heat is unbearable to work with.

Wow, I just noticed you live in the DC area. The humidity is terrible there. : (
When I am back there visiting my son and family I have to work outside early in the morning and early evening, when things cool down.

Don't forget to take photos for us. We love seeing them.

Yes it is...I can stand the 103 degree in Vegas but cannot stand 93 degree in DC because of the humidity.

Now, I am weird, granted.
When I have to work in this kind of heat, I get wet.
Turn the hose on my head!
It helps.
