I believe...Thanks for the suggestion, Autumn Belle. I believe portulaca is nice but it will require full sun. Also, it's somewhat succulent so I'm afraid it won't go along with all these evergreen and shade-loving plants I've got.Hà Xuânhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757459921320531368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997431967710794796.post-21724363590624701122010-08-07T20:56:17.018+07:002010-08-07T20:56:17.018+07:00This miniature landscape is a good idea.

For a start, the portulaca blooms will brighten it up.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997431967710794796.post-58538468547546499852010-08-07T17:30:11.848+07:002010-08-07T17:30:11.848+07:00Thanks for your nice comments, Ha Xuan.

Wish I could have half your skills.<br />The weather has been funny lately here, too. We haven't got much rain for the last couple of weeks.Hà Xuânhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757459921320531368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997431967710794796.post-19362797869031754162010-08-06T22:53:04.025+07:002010-08-06T22:53:04.025+07:00Your miniature landscape is sooo inviting I wish I...Your miniature landscape is sooo inviting I wish I were only 6" tall so I could enjoy spending a day of cool moist shade under the leaves. It would be so pleasant to curl up next to that rock and read a little book. :-D<br /><br />It's so hot here with no respite in the forecast.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997431967710794796.post-70660326974980326122010-08-06T12:56:30.603+07:002010-08-06T12:56:30.603+07:00Yes and no, Steph.

Where the soil is poor, the ivy grows slowly but if I fertilize it, it jumps!<br />If you grow this ivy in the sun, they tend to produce smaller leaves, otherwise, they have bigger leaves in the shade.<br />I have another type of variegated ivy with curly edge. Quite pretty.<br />I believe ivies like cooler climates though.Hà Xuânhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757459921320531368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997431967710794796.post-72382842168672467632010-08-06T12:26:20.727+07:002010-08-06T12:26:20.727+07:00Variegated ivy has died in my garden before.

Now you have shown me how wonderful they can be in a dish garden like this :-D<br /><br />In the nursery they sell these ivies in hanging basket... all grown so full/filled up the basket. But I remember the plant grows really slow in my garden. Does the plant grow really slow for you also? And does the plant like direct sunlight? <br /><br />Now I have one little all green ivy growing in the shade. Seems to be doing fine... I hope he he... ;-)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.com
