GeologicalForms said: Who knows! A lot of the time I'll accidentally end up germinating stowaway seeds, especially in seed I've collected from outdoor bee pollenated blooms. Usually those seeds are just some sort of weed that managed to get it's seed stuck to the pods of the harvested plant, but every now and then it's something cool from nearby in your garden. I accidentally raised some delosperma seed once, since the seedling looked succulent I didn't pull it even though it appeared to have an odd form for a semp, I thought it was a mutant of some kind until it became obvious that it was a delo, I grow a modest assortment of them, probably my third favorite after semps and sedum. Unfortunately my delo seedling croaked this winter, but I've considered intentionally raising delo seed someday.

So cool!! I don't think I'll be able to manage getting seed from my Delos — they DESPISE the winters here in VA. They freeze up and die back and pout. I might look for more hardy cultivars and give more delisperma a try , their flowers are wonderful.
