Pink Potuluca in Uniworld Garden

August 29th, 2010

Portulaca grandiflora (Moss-rose Purslane or Moss-rose), is a flowering plant in the family Portulacaceae, native to Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay. This has been grown post monsoons in out complex at multiple places. They really add colour to the landscape.

In Bangladesh, it is called “Time Fuul”, which means “Time Flower”,

It is a small, but fast-growing annual plant growing to 30 cm tall, though usually less. Requires very less maintenance.

Pink Purple Dahlia

Pink Purple Dahlia, originally uploaded by Swami Stream.

Beautiful Dahlia in my balcony garden. These beauties are seasonal and grow from tubers. They come so cheap since they are seasonal. A pot in Gurgaon costs only Rs.20/- in retail price .These can grow all though the year in a city like Bangalore but in Gurguan/Delhi they are a spring phenomenon .

I was reading some place that to get maximum sized flowers, some of these buds should be pinched out. If only one bud is allowed to develop, the largest possible flower will be produced. It takes about 6 weeks from the time buds are removed until another series of buds is formed and about three weeks longer for the buds to open.
