Here is a picture of a little ground creeping succulent I am growing here in Upstate SC. As you can see it grows very tightly together. It's lavander-pink -like blooms are held up on little succulent stalks a few inches tall(sorry, but I do not have a picture when in bloom). IT grows easily form seed and spreads well. I was thinking some form of Bergeranthus , but I forget and I lost the label. I do not even remember exactly where I bought it, perhaps now defunct Yucca Do Nursery. Any ideas?

Sorry SC FM, I just saw this post.

I picked up a similar plant from Yucca Do called Bergeranthus katbergensis but I remember this having yellow flowers last year not pink. Perhaps it is something similar such as a Bergeranthus glenensis which has a yellow flower but some are pinkish when they first open? Also check out delosperma?

My little Bergeranthus katbergensis did well during two lengthy cold snaps and are ready to flower. Here are a couple pics I took today for comparison. Mine seem much darker green and come to more of a chisel point and the growth appears less symmetrical than yours?
