Delosperma cooperi in the garden a couple of summers ago. Unfortunately it didn't recover after last winter.

I don't suppose I'll win as this isn't the greatest composition, but I liked the fact that Notocactus rutilans had a little visitor. The plant never flowered as well again and sadly is no longer with me.....
