A Smiling Portulaca or Time-flower // 10% beneficiary to @beautycreativity

Hello, dear beautiful Steemians!

A tiny little time flower of deep magenta color was waiting to greet me looking so elegant!
The name of the flower is quite interesting as this is given for a specific reason. This flower has another name and that is Portulaca, but commonly people call it time flower because it blooms at around 9 am and closes its petals around four to five pm. This is the usual office time and from there it has got this name. Portulacas have various colours. They can be magenta, yellow, red, white orange etc. But I have only the magenta variety of the flower. They grow so easily if a branch of this plant is planted on the soil.

It was long, since a time flower bloomed on my balcony. I have planted the flower plants with some Inch-plants and some Variegated Spiderwort. Together the plants look like a bouquet, and I love that look.
Portulacas, Inch-plants, and Variegated Spiderwort are also very low maintenance. They do not need much care except for sunlight and water and that makes it easy for me to raise them as I keep very busy. But it amazes me how these plants give so much happiness in exchange for so little care.

I took some photos of the flower and the pot. The flower looked exquisite with the background of the paddy field in front of my balcony.

The tiny flower filled me up with so much joy that I called my family members to see the flower and decided to share my happiness with this community.
