Poor Man's Orchid (See Schizanthus) 



PORTULACA (Moss Rose) [hA-6 in.] This garden gem 

 will thrive in a dry sunny spot where most other flowering 

 plants would die of thirst. It is of spreading habit with 

 fleshy stems, light green in color and often tinged with red. 

 Small needle leaves give it a mossy appearance. The glossy 

 cup-shaped single blossoms and rose-like double flowers 

 about one inch across cover the plants and create a dazzling 

 display of color throughout the summer. 

 Single This large flowering type with gay single flowers is 

 very satisfactory.
