This isn't a CP but I really like this plant. You might look at the plant and the desolate desert conditions and think this is a Lithops' relative growing in Namibia. However the "desert" is actually between some of our flagstones in the back garden (note the Maple key). This plant is in the Mesemb. family but it is very cold tolerant, easily surviving our Zone 4b weather this winter. It is thriving in a very hot, dry, sunny section of our back garden.

lloyd... Ahh good old 'vygies' Loved them as a kid growing up, pretty much indestructible and everywhere (at least in desert!). Do you by any chance know the exact plant name? Been trying to grow some here, but they don't make the winters.

I'm assuming Delospermum congestum. They're still for sale in a local nursery. Or you could buy seeds.

The Stylydium I wanted to enter is a no go seeing as I knocked it over and completely out of its pot with my head while getting up from a crouched position. So I'm entering an unknown Nep that doesn't even qualify because I bought it on April 6. It was the only red leaved one on a whole tray of green ones. ...this is what it looked like when I got it on April 6 003 Apr 06 (1280x960) by Gabriel Pona, on Flickr ...and this is from today... 006 May 31 (1280x960) by Gabriel Pona, on Flickr 007 May 31 (1280x960) by Gabriel Pona, on Flickr ...unfortunately it has lost its red colour. I should have something better for June. Cheers!

"I knocked it over and completely out of its pot with my head while getting up from a crouched position."
I have done similar things so many times with my plants. Then I get really annoyed that I did it.

Colin is going to post a beast later tonight so I'm going to wimp out and go with this cute little guy. The greenhouse has been paradise for these ancho-free purps, easily twice the size of outdoor grown plants. These guys take the cake for longest name as well. Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii f. luteola May 1st May 31st
