Moss Rose/ Portulaca comes in many lovely shades!
It does need 6-8 hours of sun.
Also it is a very sturdy flower and drought tolerant.

Are you familiar with this flower?
Do you call it another name?


Have a Blessed Day!

Lovely place to hang out. :-)

Lovely blooms. I am always interested in the overlap between plants in Texas and California. Seems if it needs sun and is drought resistant. Someone is trying to grow it in California. I have seen plants similar to these but I think a slightly different variety.

Oh yes, people plant it in California! Any state that has a lot of sunshine and heat will be growing this flower in their yards and as a landscape plant!

I have no idea name for this flower, sometimes ago I see red type around, I like the shot with mixed of red and yellow! Look so unique..

So many great photos!
I invite you to visit my profile, I would love to have your support. Thank you.

These look to be a really pretty ground cover.

This was one of the first flowers I grew as a young bride in Louisiana decades ago. My husband brought home a basket of portulaca a few days ago for our Mexican garden.

Yes, they are a great flower because they are hard to kill!

Wow so beautiful flowers dear 😊 I also have this moss rose in my terrace garden, I have this in Orenge and pink colours and it blooms daily with lots of quantity. We call it "time lapse"also 😊 I think it's universal flower plant.
Don't miss my latest post, it's from my terrace garden

beautiful flower and awesome photography mam...thanks for share..

howdy tonight @violetmed! man I gotta get down there to the Arboretum sometime, those flowers are stunning! and they can take the Texas dry weather! lol God bless.

amazingly this flower has a different flower color with the same type of flower, very beautiful.

Very nice mat of Portulac. We unfortunately grow wild Portulak, it does not blossom properly.

I don't think I've seen this flower before @violetmed.

I like the combination of the pink and yellow together. Very eye catching. 😊

Happy day, @violetmed! What beautiful flowers. I've only seen them yellow. I think they are the most normal and the most abundant everywhere. As always, thank you for sharing such beautiful images. A hug

It's really a beautiful one.
I have combination of those colour, can i show ?

Beautiful..I would love to see them in the garden!

  • @violetmed Amiga what a beauty my god. I want to be there next to all those beautiful flowers of different colors. A spectacular beauty. What a joy to see these beautiful flowers. Thank you for those stunning and beautiful catches. Happy night, nature-loving friend.

Gracias mi amiga!
