    The flowers of Delosperma lebomboense grow short-stalked from stem-tips. The five sepals are unequal in two groups.

    The narrow petals ascend in more than one but uneven rows around the flower centre, where smaller petals surround the yellow stamens. Flower colour is variable, including pale yellow or buff to nearly white, cream and even slightly greenish.

    Flowering happens in summer, usually after good rain (Smith, et al, 2017; Hardy and Fabian, 1992; iNaturalist).
