Every morning I visit my garden to get my fix of beauty for the day. The moss rose never fails to give the high I need. This insignificant ground cover is the perfect example of how joy comes in tiny packages.
It is the little things in life that keeps us going day after day. Chasing after the rainbows is a long and difficult journey, which may or may not yield results. Finding joy in everyday things and making the best of what you have is an assurance for happiness.
Even when I am not in a great mood just looking at these little blooms which are often considered cheap fixes for a garden bring me so much peace and happiness.
The moss rose brings so much color and life to my garden. They aren't finicky or demanding like the rose, they just bloom where they are planted. They take little but they keep on giving, year after year.
Moss rose or portulaca is a semi succulent, it doesn't need as much water or care. It doesn't matter what it gets, but it gives of itself like a heart filled with love.
Are words sufficient to express such beauty, my heart somersaults with pleasure when my eyes behold these sights.
I don't know about you, but to be embedded in the bosom of beauty so wild is ecstasy for me.
All images belong to me
