    Can anyone tell me what this plant is called, please? I've seen quite a lot of them in gardens locally, but have never seen them for sale anywhere.

    Not my image...

    Do you have a close up of the leaves? i think there are far to many smaller flowers for that to be delosperma cooperi just my thoughts..looks very much like lampranthus (which if your interested I'm swapping cuttings of!)
