    Just found a packet of seeds I meant to plant earlier.

    Is it too late to plant mesembryanthemum seeds - might I be lucky
    enough to get a few late flowers this year?

    I'd say a bit late really.
    As they only open when the sun shines you would need to pick your spot very carefully.;)

      Hi Pete

      So I might get a few if the weather stays sunny?

      Worth a try perhaps if I sow a few seeds. They are very small
      (packet says 3000 seeds) so maybe a I'll sprinkle a couple of hundred
      in a sheltered spot and see what comes up.
