Marcelyn Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Where can I buy a small blooming shrub/flower called "moss rose" in the US. Not sure if this plant is available in Boquete. Not sure what the local name for this plant is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I may have what you're looking for. A shrub with very small leaves and small white flowers on it. Blooms alot. Give me a call 6493 6947. I am located in Volcancito. I don't see a link to post a picture.Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bakke Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Actually, most sources identify moss rose as portulaca, a ground cover plant. Available at the mercado here in volcan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Is this what you're looking for, Marcelyn? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulaca_grandifloraIf so, I've seen it in gardens here but not for sale anywhere. Maybe someone here will offer you a sprig; it's easy to transplant and propagate. I wish I had some but, as it's a succulent, it's too wet here in Palo Alto to grow it successfully.

Bonnie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Marcelyn, I saw moss rose (portulaca) this morning at the plant nursery in Alto Lino, right around the corner from your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
