Portulaca flowers love plain hot tropical sun all day long - in the Philippines and particularly in Bicol region portulaca flowers are very abundant and in many beautiful colors such as the pink portulaca, red portulaca and yellow portulaca flowers shown here in this picture.
Portulaca grandiflora - sun plant flowers
Portulaca flowers also are called sun plant
Date/Time: Wed 26 Sep 2007 08:03:03 AM PHT
Portulaca loves plain tropical sun - tropical sun means real tropics - hence between 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 degrees South of equator. Portulaca flowers grow in meager sandy soil and blossom each day during plain hot sunny hours. Because of Portulaca flowers preference to hot plain sun without any shadows, the sun plan grows abundant on sidewalks, around houses with stoney, gravelly or sandy soil. The more sun and the hotter the sun the happier the sun plant. As soon as sun becomes weak later in the afternoon - the blossoms close until after sunrise next day.
A single sun plant such as the yellow Portulaca here in the image grows fast and soon may develop many branches and may have up to 2 or more dozen blossoms per plant.

Break a branch of portulaca flower - put the branch 2-3 cm into sandy soil, wait a week or two and your portulaca flower will grow and blossom. Portulaca are ideal for sandy or gravelly soil too meager for most other plants and flowers.

Stone gardens - the art of gardening around natural stones
Stone gardens - flower arrangements around natural stones
Date/Time: Wed 26 Sep 2007 08:07:46 AM PHT
Stone gardens may look as beautiful as tropical lush flower gardens - the secret of stone garden beauty is in knowing which flowers and plants love the precise natural soil and weather conditions. Use natural stones rather than creating artificial stone corners. Use flowers and plants that love to grow strongly in such soil and climate conditions.
A typical example are the millions of Portulaca flowers planted all around Bicol region in the Philippines- Particularly here in Legazpi city, with 20 and more kms around Mt Mayon volcano the soil is almost entirely black sand, lava stones and left overs from the regular and powerful volcano eruptions.
Portulaca flowers grow within a few weeks and after a few months the Portulaca flowers may expand into many branches and plentiful of beautiful blossoms. Stone gardens when made correctly have zero maintenance and may blossom year round. Portulaca flowers - sun plants - blossom all year if planted in truly tropical hot and plain sunny areas with sandy or gravelly soil. No standing water - otherwise from tropical rainy season to many months dry season all is within the range of tolerance of Portulaca flowers in stone gardens.

Beauty as a result of simplicity
Simple things often are more beautiful than complex things in life
Date/Time: Wed 26 Sep 2007 08:07:57 AM PHT
Just like a girl without any makeup - but a loving heart - may be far more beautiful than a girl covered with layers of makeup and artificial body parts - the same applies in natural gardening and specially in stone gardening. Add natural ingredients and let nature contribute its powerful share of adding natural beauty to a healthy nature garden.
Integrate existing stones into your garden
Instead of removing all stones out of your garden - integrate existing stones amidst your flowers and plants
Date/Time: Wed 26 Sep 2007 08:08:16 AM PHT
Stones are energy supplies for plants and humans - some buy expensive crystals to place in house and home - others simply use the free and already existing natural rocks or lava stones and integrate their natural beauty and powerful energy radiation within the living environment.

All visible neighborhood of Mt Mayon volcano is covered with lava and black sand - hence the power of Mt Mayon volcano is strong enough to bury whatever is is in sight up to 10-20 kms or more depending on the individual eruption.
Memories from past - learn to drop your past and free your memories to let love blossom
Memories is all that survived the clean-up power of volcanic natural force
Date/Time: Wed 26 Sep 2007 08:13:26 AM PHT
To bury and forget is what people also need to learn. No restart in a happy future without leaving your past behind. Learn from nature and learn to bury and burn in a fire rather than to carry your past along into your future. For true love and a happy future your heart and mind need to be freed from your past.
To grow flowers in your heart and mind you need to drop all the trashy ideas of revenge and memories of past mistakes.

Without past experiences no action to gain wisdom and strength for a future. Like the flowers in a stone garden - all love grows stronger and more beautiful if based on the experiences of your past.
