Moss Roses
The moss roses (Portulaca
Grandiflora), also commonly known as 10'o clock flower is an exceptionally
hardy flower. It can survive even the worst of summers. Being a good flowering
plant with numerous varieties, moss roses make for a good decorative plant.
Requiring very less care and requiring the least water moss roses are extremely
easy to plant and their feature of vegetative propagation, moss roses almost
never die once you've put up a small stem. But these bloom only in the summer,
being dormant all throughout the year.
I too have some moss
roses, in three colours, a multiple shaded white-pink variety, a solid pink and
another one, a solid white variety. Moss roses are extremely easy to carry over
from one place. All you need is just a stem from your plant, and you can plant
wherever you want.
Since my moss roses
are blooming now, I captured some blooms last sunday.
Here are some shots.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and for those words of encouragement.
DeleteNice shots..... My suggestion is to shoot flowers in the shade/cloudy days/morning or evening to avoid hard sun and associated problems....
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and your suggestion Debopam. But, some of these flowers bloom in sun only, like, the Ghazania, Moss Roses and such, which can't be captured early morning or in the evening, though, shade can be done. I'll try capturing some shots in shade.
