A Close-up View of the Wildflower "Rose Moss". Portulaca pilosa. A Close-up View of the Wildflower "Rose Moss" For as long as I can remember, Rose Moss has bloomed along the same section of a driveway near my home, in the quarter inch crack between asphalt and curb. This colourful plant was introduced from South America (the dry plains of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina), and seems to grow under the most extreme conditions of heat and lack of moisture. It is similar to the popular annual Garden Portulaca which has much larger and more complex blooms.
