Portulaca grandiflora goes by several names – that of Portulaca, Moss Rose, Rose Moss and Sun Plant. Annual succulent from South America. These plants are short and prefer full sun in a position that will dry out between waterings. The flowers tolerate hot, dry conditions well and bear large flowers with colours white/cream, rose, orange and yellow.

Easy to grow and thrive with just a little care. These are new sown after the rain by the landscaping guys in Uniworld Garden . They really look pretty.Took this shot on a Sunday. It was too windy must try again another day , also lawn mover was in action that frightened my son.
