Delospermas

Delospermas are from South Africa but with the exception of D. cooperi (Z6) are only just hardy (Z9). They are best thought of as perennial Mesembryanthemums, having prostrate succulent foliage with flowers up to 5cm across opening and closing with the sun. D. sutherlandii and D.cooperi are pink (and I mean pink), D.s. ‘Peach Star’ does do what is says on the tin, and D. congestum is bright yellow.
