Moss Rose (Portulaca grandiflora) is a common sight in Pakistani gardens and it is locally known as "گل دوپہری". In fact, it is such a familiar flower over there that I always thought of it as a native species. So I was naturally overjoyed to find it here. But a little googling tells me that this succulent plant is actually native to South America. This sun-loving plant is also known as the Eleven o'clock flower, Mexican Rose, and Sun Rose in various parts of the world.
