Moss rose (portulaca grandiflora) a morning bloomer... the blooms will go away in the afternoon to show their beauty again the next day. This plant reminds me of my childhood, many houses had moss rose (11 horas in Portuguese) in the garden, they are easy to grow and there are many colors available.

Wonderful moss rose, flowers and colors!

Great shot. In Brazil it is named "Onze horas" ("11:00 am")because it uses to flourish all day eleven o´clock, when sunshine is up.
Beautiful! I have one and the same color. I pick the dead blooms off every day and it does better.
Nice flowers and fuhhy the portuguese name!
Oi, Cris
Eu as conheço como onze-horas, são pequenas e muito graciosas. Gostei muito também dos porrões de barro, um belo ornamento de jardim.

Lovely! I like those little pots and the angle they're sitting.
Pretty in Pink!

I love that they bloom in the morning and close later in the afternoon. Some fresh beauty every day.
Hope you are doing well.

It seems you've been busy too. Not many posts from either of us lately. I hope life slows down a bit soon. Didn't want you to think I've forgotten about you. Hope you're well. :)
I was not here for longer.
Those are beautiful flowers. they grow here in Germany too. Now we have autumn and the leaves become colorful . Nice pictures from your home in the other posts before.
