Oops, now I feel a little embarrassed, ...Thanks LT! Oops, now I feel a little embarrassed, lol. :) I found an intriguing plant on Ebay by a seller in Tasmania called Delosperma lehmannii. I googled it for more info & pics, & it seems that it also has a synonym of, wait for it, Corpuscularia lehmannii. It's such a great looking plant with a bit of mystery. There are more pics here: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tags/corpuscularialehmannii/interesting/<br /><br />Best!Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550514571430359240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-63760977221121557392012-12-14T06:41:09.938+11:002012-12-14T06:41:09.938+11:00Thank you LT Expanded for the ID on the Corpuscula...Thank you LT Expanded for the ID on the Corpuscularia, much appreciated.<br /><br />And Ngeun, I'm sorry I don't know where I bought it. So many of my succulents are 'finds' that Pam and I come across while away on holidays. We can't resist visiting little nurseries in country towns, and we often come away with unusual succulents whose name we don't know.<br /><br />Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-4526333578344187392012-12-14T05:46:40.276+11:002012-12-14T05:46:40.276+11:00It really has filled out quickly hasnt it - amazin...It really has filled out quickly hasnt it - amazing.<br />I love succulents, can't risk putting them in the ground here so have to resort to potsHelen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-50708706558370848102012-12-14T02:50:16.744+11:002012-12-14T02:50:16.744+11:00Hi, Ngeun asked me to come and look, the last plan...Hi, Ngeun asked me to come and look, the last plant is a Corpuscularia, most probably lehmanii, but could be taylorii also.<br /><br />Lapidaria always have 3 leaf pairs, not more. <br /><br />Nice post!

I've further researched & it appears that a synonym of Lapidaria margaretae is in fact Argyroderma margaretae or Argyroderma roeatum (http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/LAPIDARIA/Lapidaria_margaretae/lapidaria_margaretae/Lapidaria_margaretae.htm), so you were correct all along to have called it Argyroderma if that is what it is. So, were you just testing us? And I apologise if I spoke out of league. Plant taxonomy is a puzzle at the best of times, & I hope I haven't made the effort of naming this plant more confusing. Can I ask where you got it from & how old it is, because I really want one. :)Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550514571430359240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-14422785447349840862012-12-12T07:47:27.243+11:002012-12-12T07:47:27.243+11:00Ngeun

The second option, Gibbaeum, doesn't have the very distinct 'sharp' edges of either my plant or the Lapidaria.<br /><br />So thank you so very much for going to all that trouble of tracking that one down!

They evidently love their new home. The weedy/pretty portulacas look beautiful; I'm glad you've let them live. Schwartkopf's a beauty, likewise Copper Spoons, & the Topsy Turvey is a work of art! :) That last one is a masterpiece & my favourite. I don't know what it is but I believe that Argyroderma are winter growers, & your plant is growing like crazy. I researched online & it looks to me it could be a Lapidaria (http://www.poliantea.it/DICOTILEDONI/Aizoaceae/Lapidaria%20cf%20margaretae%2000.jpg) or perhaps a Gibbaeum? I'm likely wrong. Their flowers may help with their id. What ever it is, I am jealous! :) Congrats!Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550514571430359240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-24302315260329871012012-12-10T03:31:45.431+11:002012-12-10T03:31:45.431+11:00...this just helped me identify another 2-3 of my ......this just helped me identify another 2-3 of my succulents!
