Oh my. That wasn't even in my initial research. It was frustrating since at times all i could see online were the flowers. That was a great clue. The growth pattern/ habit was confusing me, it didn't look like any of the previous genera i mentioned. It does look similar to that of corpuscularia. I was leaning towards delosperma and when i researched the names you gave me, i found out they were from the same subfamily and tribe, if not interchangeable or synonyms of each other. Difference i could see was that delosperma are papillate and mine has very smooth almost satiny leaves, a feature of corpuscularia. However, most of the Corpuscularia or Delosperma lehmannii in google images really had plump/ chubby and compact leaves. There were a few long-leaved ones but then they have reddish stalks and mine doesn't (though that could just be due to different growing conditions). The longest leaves on my plant are 1.5 inches or 4cm and the stalks have papery sheaths. Thank you so much for that info rosemarie. I guess i'll treat it as a corpuscularia for the time being.

We removed the one that came with our house. Replaced it with a 15" under counter beverage fridge ... much better use of the space. Previous owners had also had a problem with the ice maker drain clogging up and ruining the kitchen floor and some cabinets.

Jodi, your kitchen is absolutely beautiful - Great Job! It's so warm and inviting. Your slide show is fantastic and helpful. I'm on the East Coast so I have to find a supplier for the back splash somewhere around here. You say you added the umber glass, the reddish and clearer ones are already integrated in the back splash, correct? Also, where did you get that grass wallpaper and what color is it. My home is older and the walls are less desirable, so that might just be a good choice for me. Also, What are your color cabinets? Thanks for taking the time to do that slide show, it helped me "gel" all the thoughts in my mind. Have a great day, Maggie

Take the glass tiles out of the sample and flip them over. The other side is not irridized. We are replacing some of the peach and clear tiles with a ruby red and we didn't like the red ones irridized, so we are installing them reversed. Also, wet the stone and see if you like it darker. If you do, go with a sealer-enhancer. You could also go to a tile store. They will help you find something that you both like.
