I love the portulaca! It is one of my favorites and so colorful!! It does well in the sweltering full sun, I have it hanging on a shepherd's hook, in a basket. It brightens the area where it is with its constant blooming nature. 

The begonia's that you show are another constant bloomer, I can see we are on the same page with flowers! Oh, the hibiscus is gorgeous! I love them and I plant them in the garden where they bloom all season, then I have been digging them up because it is too cold in the winter. Then rinse, repeat. 

Those purple *daisy-like* flowers are Asters, I believe. They like full sun (here anyway, but, you are hotter!) but, will grow nicely in a pot, as long as you don't put it in a pot too big. They don't like to be wet all the time and a pot filled with soil stays wet longer. 

Of course, you hit my favorite market!  :)  Who knew I liked flowers? #alwaysaflower  Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday, I apologize for being soooo behind!


#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience.  I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
