It's the Portulaca grandiflora; They are succulents known as “beautiful at 11 a.m.” They are so named because, just when the sun is almost reaching noon, they open their beautiful pompons of clustered leaves, and their vibrant colors are varied and even mixed in a single flower.
Unfortunately, they are beautiful for a short time, then they disappear. Today I am trying to replace the substrate with a new one, and I am taking cuttings from the only pot where they are still alive.
They were white, tinged with red and white; red; and orange. So most likely I will get two colors, red and orange. Only these two colors remained alive.
I took several containers where they were before; the substrate is still soft, but they have disappeared. I removed most of the old substrate and replaced it with new substrate.
I cut several cuttings from the main pot and placed them in all the containers with new substrate.
I proceed to place the renewed substrate and some small cuttings in each of these recycled plastic containers.
Here are all the cuttings, in new substrate, with water, and in the place where they will remain until I see that the cuttings have taken root. Later, they will go to the sunniest spot, as they like it, to be seen and chosen by the flower lovers in my garden.
We'll see each other again in the garden.
