Oh, it is a pygmy. The stamens are that bright red colour but the petals have a flush of pink to them.
I am just buggered as to where it cam from, it isn't like it could just blow in on the breeze here in Atlanta and that pot has been establised for over a year so it can't be a hitch-hiker.
The pygmy you mentioned sounds like D.xCarburup(nitidula ssp nitidula x occidentalis). It differs from xLake Badgerup(nitidula ssp. omissa x occidentalis ssp. occi.) in that the flowers are salmon pink. The rosettes look about the same.
Michelle, that is great! I have been trying to catch my spathulata flowers to take a picture for a long time, and I don't know if I am too late or too early, but I never have seen any in bloom. Do you remember WHAT time yours flowered
Some say daybreak, some say noon, seems like I've tried looking all during that time. Maybe it depends on the species...
I noticed that if you're trying to make it self pollinate by rolling the bud around (no pun intended) the flowers don't seem to bother opening up, or they won't open up all the way. I've only seen a capensis flower open up completely, it was the first one so I figured I would have plently more chances. I've also seen them almost-open up around evening time, approx 6-9pm.
The rosettes of D.nitidula x pulchella look look like those of pulchella. If the appearance of the rosettes look like those of D.xLake Badgerup than it is probably not D.nitidula x pulchella.
