Delospermas ID

I think I have a lucky star! My mother bought some plants that resemble a lot D. copperii. So I went to the store, got some more plus I also bought two other species.

[note! there are some shade that might fade the colours in the photo]

the close up shows the flowers and colours better. The lighter pinkish one [copperii?], the more fuchsia one, and the darker , redder one.

Well, what do you think?

Noone who cares to share an opinion or two? Is it so difficult species to identify? I don't seem to find anything similar, even though all three species have slight differences from oneother.

I can't tell the difference... is there a difference between Delosperma cooperi and Lampranthus spp.? I see Lampranthus all the time at nurseries.

Shit man, they're identical! I didn't know about Labranthus. Thanks. I have to search more....

[Yeti101]

I don't know about that. I think there is a difference in the flowers - the plants in the middle look more like other pictures of D. cooperi I have seen.

Can you be more specific. I have found myself some differences both by appearance as by sources & description

[Torsten]

It is impossible to tell what these are without further info, although gut feeling would indicate they are in the Ruschioideae subfamily.

have a look at the key I htmlised here:
