Frilly Comeback

This Moss Rose, on the verge of unfolding, has been around since last summer when I planted a mini succulent garden and included a few of these pretty flowers. Last fall I decided to save some of the plants, put them in this planter and brought them inside for the winter. They survived! So I moved them out to my deck once the weather got warmer this spring. The Moss Roses were just little stems and leaves until midsummer when I noticed a tiny flower bud forming. Soon after, there were more! I was excited to see the blossoms make a comeback and fill the small planter with color and frill again.
