One of my favorite things about gardening in Chacala is that I can grow succulents year-round here. Some of them go semi-dormant during the rainy season. Like my favorite, Adenium Obesum. But they live thru the rain and start blossoming as soon as it stops.
I have always loved Portulacas, ever since the very first time I saw one. In one of the greenhouses at Manito Park, in Spokane WA.
I love to able to grow them year around here in Chacala. Or, maybe I should say, I love it that I get to admire Portulacas growing year-around in Chacala. That's because I have almost nothing to do with how well they grow here.
Local ladies come by for pieces, cuttings, of the plant all the time. If they see a new color blossom, it's time for a new cutting. I love it. It's so nice to have something to share. And they just stick the pieces in a pot and ingnore them. They almost aways take.

Okay, you've convinced me-I am moving to Chacala lol! I have been following your blog for quite a long time now and it is beautiful! The picture from the market of all of the flowers is stunning, as are all of your photos. It looks to be a wonderful, warm place. I really enjoy reading about gardening there. Thank you very much for the entertainment and wonderful pictures.
