Flower Power

These pretty petals are called Portulaca,

 also known as Moss Rose, Pigweed, and Purslane.

Notice anything strange about them? No?

 Okay, let's get a closer look.

How about now?

 That's right! They have two different kinds of leaves!

What used to reside in here was another variety.

Remember these?

I wonder...will the succulent leaved Purslane, above, 
push its way through the already blooming Portulaca, 
and if it does, can you imagine? 

 

These flower boxes will morph into jewellery boxes,

overflowing with a variety of multiplying, glowing gems!

Each one, a pretty, precious piece

   of soft and silky luxury.

 Adorning the skies with clusters of colour,

like a sparkly brooch, the landscape, they cover.

 Thanks for visiting!

Happy 4th of July to 
all my American friends!
