Portulacea

that's unusual, love the colours

Agree with Yorkshire.

They spread out covering the ground like a mat ,these plants are a little larger than dinner plates at the moment with lots more flowers on them ........

Thats pretty....

Very nice Amy, saw a lot of these last year in France...

Thanks Maureen , I shall be looking out for them when we go on holiday this year Angela

So nice Amy...:>)

I am so sad not to be going this year Amy, say hello from me, and let me know how you get on, hope you have a lovely holiday.

lovely combination of petal colour

Thanks Motinot / Linda , don't be sad Angela you have your special big one to look forward to over there next year , I will say hello and open a bottle or two for you as well , we aren't going until September we decided to wait until most of the garden produce had finished we missed so much when we went earlier in the season , we found last year that Sept. was a good month to go, quieter but still having the good weather :o)

We have to go the last weeks in August and first week in Sept because of the grandchildren, but we stay on an extra few days as we like it in September also. we used to go in late May at one time, but opening the garden put paid to that!! yes it is a shame to miss all your lovely home grown produce...

Maybe we will be there one of these Septembers when you are there Angela that would be nice , we are meeting up with friends for a couple of days in Normandy who will be over there at the same time as us ..

Lovely we like Normandy too.....

I love all the parts of France that I've visited...which isn't that many, but I would love to see more! Going in September seems like a good idea as well. We are going to Nerja in October, so I hope it will still be pleasant there then. I don't like to leave the garden in summer at all...but this year we might as well have...but the nice bits of most places are far too hot for us in the summer anyway!

October should be a good month Karen , autumn months are often better than our summer ones , I must admit if it's very hot it tires me out sapping my energy ,I haven't been to Nerja ,I have a sister who lives in Spain .....
