Hi Brian,

I agree with the aloinopsis villettii, but it is very misleading that it is flowering now.
I should haven known the delosperma deilanthoides from Ian's previous thread.
I'm not sure for the prepodesma orpenii: there's insufficient detail to distinguish it from nananthus.

I think we're getting somewhere! 13/18 for Brian :) No wait a moment, I've checked synonyms and I'll upgrade that to 14/18!

The other two are the wrong genus (unless you're Tom), neither is rare.

Like Vic, I haven't a clue! But it does look very nice Ian!

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

The two that haven't been named are: bottom left, Khadia acutipetala; and top right, Nananthus transvaalensis.

The Aloinopsis is A. luckhoffii, but I think A. villettii is a synonym. When grown harder it has prominent warts around to edges of the leaves but it is liking life too much getting rained on in this big pot :)
