ACK!

Now you made crittergarden poke out her minds eye.

My mind's eye was getting fuzzy anyway.....

Look at this little sweetie. The bloom isn't open all the way yet, and I forgot to go out later for another shot.
Delosperma carterae 'Carlile Pink'

ooh, I love it!! I'm not familiar with that ice plant.

I can't remember if I got that one in Denver?

You must have.... Sunscapes sells that particular delosperma. Sunscapes is located in Pueblo, Colorado. The owner of the nursery is a member of the Colorado Cactus and Succulent Society which means that I will come across that particular delosperma again!

I really have to make sure I get a photo of the bloom fully open. It is just a tiny plant right now. Hopefully it will make it through my very long rainy season. I might bring it up on the covered deck for winter and spring.

tabby said:I have three of those new Japanese hybrids ( Perfect Orange, Pink Ribbons and Carmen Lucia) and from what I've read, the jury is still out on how hardy they are. They suffered frost damage far more than my other ice plants early this winter. I covered them with a lots of leaves to protect them, plus I brought cuttings inside and rooted them.



I'm hoping to find Fire Spinner this year.

Santarosagardens.com has Fire Spinner on sale for $3.99.

There is a great sale going on over at Mamajack's cubit. http://cubits.org/notfortheser...
I already have this one
Eye Candy


These are great companions for our semps and jovis.

Lynn - I have that one but no blooms yet. I can't wait now!

You won't be disappointed Clint. It is a WOW plant. I need to clear out one of my other 4 x 8 ft. raised beds and plant just Delosperma in it. At the rate I'm going it won't be big enough.

Lynn - I have 'Mesa Verde' starting to bloom, 'White Pearl' is blooming too. It has small blooms and seems to grow slowly. The new hybrids aren't as vigorous to me. I wish my 'Fire Spinner' would bloom. 'Gold Nugget' isn't blooming either.

I really love these new ones, they don't seem to try taking over everything around them, like some of the other Delosperma. These are working so well with my semps.

I like the ones that try to take over. LOL. They bloom over and over, especially cooperi. They are so easy to break off if you don't like where they are headed.

Well this is my first year with these, so maybe I am jumping the gun by making that comment.

Is this one of the planters you make Clint?

No, but it's similar. I just saw that picture and thought it was neat with all those colors in one pot. You really should grow some of these if you don't already. They are such nice plants. Bees LOVE them! They are what I edge the flower beds {in full sun} with now. The grass cannot grow through them. I do edge with some of the plastic edging but these do help cut back on weeding.

ooo I didn't know about the bees! Good to knoww!

YES, PLEASE go order from mamajack. I've got my order in already and she had such a low response she's thinking of cancelling the sale....


I wish I had thought of posting it here - glad you did!

I ordered some already from her co-op.
