It's a steamy, sweltering Spring day here, but the Portulaca (a.k.a. Purslane) flowers don't mind a bit!

Brilliant contrasts of color in the portulaca flowers today. A sunny summer day is their favorite!

We had a flat of these Portulacas at the plant sale. This was the only one that wasn't blooming, and it didn't sell so we took it home and I transplanted it in a rectangular terracotta pot. It hasn't stopped blooming since. Apparently each flower only lasts a day or two, but it keeps producing new ones every day.
