You are so right about the hot nights- plants just look so weary, even with water. <br /><br />Twenty years ago Henry Mitchell wrote how he loved the old-fashioned Moss Rose Portulaca that was a staple of the South, but also lamented its unwillingness to Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-15976091467519577692010-07-19T19:41:51.118-07:002010-07-19T19:41:51.118-07:00That weedy purslane was the bane of my existence i...That weedy purslane was the bane of my existence in my old garden. It always had a toehold (or square yards) of my decomposed granite paths. I therefore feel less kindly disposed toward the pretty flowering purslane than I otherwise might.<br /><br />Waiting resignedly for those cool nights too.

I was thinking about you and wondering how your plans to Egypt/Israel/Jordan is going? Are you getting excited?? Would you believe that my daughter and I are discussing ANOTHER trip to Egypt?? I also had just updated my blog and was discussing my NON producing tomato plant that I'm thinking I need to PRUNE.

I visited a friend's garden in Ft. Worth on our way home on vacation last week, and she had it growing in a beautiful two-tiered bird bath that had cracked and couldn't be used for it's original purpose...it was stunning cascading Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-55837620367622119512010-07-18T17:26:09.214-07:002010-07-18T17:26:09.214-07:00never knew that about tomatoes... guess I'll k...never knew that about tomatoes... guess I'll keep an eye on nighttime temps here as well!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021681734078075329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-74988587934018549952010-07-18T16:48:55.165-07:002010-07-18T16:48:55.165-07:00These are gorgeous!

Mine with the smaller leaves came with just the tag Purslane, which is a typle of the Portulaca I'm pretty sure. Regardless, they're lovely and a winner for our hot Texas heat! I've already had to move some normal full sun lovers to a shadier spot because of the heat.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449390713125491458noreply@blogger.com
