I think you are right … For last few days I have been keeping track of Aizoaceae members here Fremont. The differences lie in fruit, number of chambers and and calyx. I think this picture proves that my plant is Delosperma cooperi and not Lamranthus spectabilis. The other plant which I now think Drosantherum floribundum I will post separately.
