I've always loved the way the word rolls of your tongue; and it makes you sound like you're smart and can speak a foreign language... or like you've visited some place exotic (aka "I had the BEST vacation in "Portulaca"...) AND it's a really cool plant - even if it's only an annual up here.<br /><Shyrlenehttp://thebunniesbuffet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345182869978637458.post-39902600223193592032011-07-27T19:14:48.783-05:002011-07-27T19:14:48.783-05:00Born and raised in CA - I've missed out.

It's in shade, though, so no flowers yet.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345182869978637458.post-39216736477911477362011-07-27T11:38:11.025-05:002011-07-27T11:38:11.025-05:00What a cool common name for portulaca!
