Every time I think the purslane plant has shown me its brightest blooms, it brings out an even more colorful design! (It is loving the arrival of true summer.)

This portulaca plant is unlike the others I have had. It keeps growing flowers of different colors instead of staying consistent. I like the variety!

The pollinators are *loving* the new portulaca flowers.

I love portulaca (a.k.a. purslane). I received these Monday, planted them this morning, and they are already blooming this afternoon!

This variety is called “seagrass” or “watermelon punch”.

Keep alert as you are out and about. The unseasonable warmth is bringing back some flowers here and there!

Contrasting portulaca/purslane flowers nestled up one against the other.

A sprig of portulaca/purslane broke of of the main plant, and fell in a corner of our garden. It apparently rooted itself, and is so happy that it is flowering now! #SummerFlowers #Portulaca #Purslane #TrumbullCT

If today is any indication, bees and orange flowers are a match made in heaven. :-)

So many happy blooms in the bright midday sun!

The garden is VERY happy in the sun after the storms - both bugs and blooms!

The portulaca/purslane flowers remain bright despite the cloudy days. And the pollinators are enjoying their sweetness!
