i love these photos and i love the flowers, we always have at least two pots of them here. they just bloom and bloom...and bloom some more. tomorrow post will be your sunflower seeds all grown up
Gail I almost cried when I saw this-My mother always had a huge flowerbed full of these in Missouri where I was raised. I've tried to grow them in N. Ontario, but they love a hotter, drier climate. Your moss roses look beautiful in your rock garden.
My mum grew them in her gardens for years and since then I haven't seen them for years either ! Very pretty , Hope you can salvage them ! Lovely photos , thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
Very pretty. These are my Mom's favorite plant. We've had buckets of rain here in Louisiana, but my tomatoes & flowers are glorious and my blueberries are magnificent. xo

Despite the beating from falling rain these heat lovers are surviving. Portulaca was one of my favorite flowers growing up. We had a large rock covered with them. The last died so I am trying again to reestablish this old favorite of mine. So far, so good.

I hope they do get reestablished. I have always liked them too.
I hope all is well.

What a beautiful little plant and one I have never seen before.I will check it out further on Google now.

So delicate. What a site it must have been to see a blanket of them over rocks.

Let them go to seed in the fall and they will provide you with many seedlings come spring:)

I love moss roses. They take me back to my childhood. I think it's the first flower I ever grew all by myself. :)
