Delosperma carolinense flower

The flowers of Delosperma carolinense grow solitary on short pedicels from stem-tips. The five sepals are unequal in groups of two and three respectively and there are bracts below the flower.

The spreading petals, growing in slightly more than one row, are narrow and acutely pointed. The purple-pink petals vary in the lightness of their tint, the occasional plant flowering white. The bases of the petals are white or slightly yellow in a small central patch around the yellow cluster of stamens, also surrounded by some short inner petals.

Flowering happens in spring (Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist).
