“Vygies - or mesembryanthemums - are truly South Africa’s most colourful plant group. Their silky-textured flowers - in just about every colour of the rainbow - will give an extraordinary luminosity to any border. With more than 1 800 species from which to choose, whatever your taste in plants and garden design, there will be a vygie to suit your fancy.
The widely used Afrikaans name vygie - which literally means ‘small fig’ - is based on the fact that the top-like fruiting capsule also resembles a small fig. The best know spring-flowering vygies are the Drosanthemum, Delosperma andLampranthus species. They include many small shrub-like plants as well as groundcovers, and have an enormous range of flower colours.” Source:
