aiuole - Delosperma Cooperi - a photo on Flickriver

            così come altri generi di Aizoaceae (tra cui Corophytum, Aptenia, Erepsia, Disphyma, Dorotheanthus, Drosanthemum, Lampranthus) era compreso nel genere Mesembryanthemum, che raggruppava circa un migliaio di specie.

Delosperma cooperi (syn. Mesembryanthemum cooperi; common names Trailing Iceplant or "Pink Carpet") is a dwarf perennial plant, native to South Africa. 
It can be cultivated in a wide range of areas with a Mediterranean climate. While intense and prolonged frost can cause damage to this plant, it will recover vigorously in the spring. Due to the low need for maintenance, it is suitable for urban environments and high temperature regions. It can often be found in large, extensive patches. The trailing stems also make it suitable for flowerpots and terraces.
The flowers are the most brilliant aspect of this plant, with the production of a great quantity of vermillion, magenta or pink flowers that will often cover the entire site, hence the popular name "pink carpet".
Propagation is easy. Just take a cutting without a flower on. Strip a couple of bottom leaves off then replant in same soil. Will become established very quickly.
