The flowering plants were bought as seedlings, but the ones in the center area are from last years crop. They self-seed and survive the winter. We usually get the seedlings to have blooms earlier. The plants are speading and will eventually cover the bed. http://xrl.us/nrxr Four pictures of Portulaca Bed Update 27 June 2006. The plants are spreading. The under-exposed picture sort of highlights the colours. It is always a pleasure to view the bed. http://xrl.us/o3md 13 July 2006 Portulaca Bed is now filled in. We had about three inches of rain yesterday. Bright sun today, which portulaca like and they bloomed. This is probably as pretty as it gets. New blooms everyday as long as the sun is bright. The center is a poker plant, perennial for contrast. It didn't bloom this year, but I expect it will be attracfive in 2007. Portulaca doesn't like to be wet for long periods. We started to get rain too often later in the season, and the bed slowly died away. Next year I will cover trhe bed during heavy rain to lengthen the blooming time. Durgan Quote \| Reply \| Report
