Good morning, friends. Today I want to share with you these beautiful photographs of a small and lovely flower garden. These small flowers, known as silk flowers, are very beautiful and can grow in various colors. Other names they are known by are: mañanitas (the time when they bloom and shine the most), bella a las once, or verdolaga en flor. The flowers can have several differences, which makes their variety stand out a lot. Some show their center completely surrounded by pistils, while others show a large number of concentric petals.
The cultivation of this species as an ornamental plant is quite common, although it requires some specific conditions for its cultivation and good development. It is a very suitable plant for semi-dry places and sandy soil. The most important thing is that its soil has good drainage.
It is a creeping plant that will soon cover a good part of the ground. It does not need special care in terms of pruning, but it can be done to keep its spread under control. It is very important that it is in a place where it can receive direct sunlight. With all favorable conditions, the plant will grow very quickly and beautifully, reaching up to 20 cm.
Throughout South America, we can find this plant even in the wild, where it forms large colorful blankets. The most common colors are pink, yellow, and white, the latter being my favorite because of how delicate it looks and its soft, shiny petals. On the same plant, we can find, thanks to human intervention, more than one of these colors.
Without a doubt, this is a beautiful and exuberant option that will beautify any garden. Although I do not consider it very suitable for pot cultivation, it is also possible. Its variety of colors and shapes pleases the eye of any observer.
