F...Welcome to My Virtual Maryland Garden, Panayoti. For those of you who don’t know, “Acantholimon” is none other than Panayoti Kelaidis. That’s particularly relevant here because, if he’s not pulling my leg, he better than anyone should know what is and what is not ‘Red Mountain’ – he introduced it! <br />But Panayoti, there are a lot of images out there which strongly suggest that this IS a Delosperma, and probably ‘Red Mountain’. I would send a piece to you later this year, but a local rabbit found it very tasty and returned over and over until the plant had been nibbled down to a lifeless stub. <br />And if this is not ‘Red Mountain’, there is another red-flowered Delosperma-like succulent out there being mass propagated and providing strong competition for our attention. And if that’s the case, I’ll want both: so please tell us the difference!McWorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259286760419004721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260848875272495610.post-23178600014532632612010-02-02T18:03:11.279-05:002010-02-02T18:03:11.279-05:00I don't think it's Red Mountain.

In fact, I don't think it's a delosperma at all..<br /><br />But it's very pretty!Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.com
