Main page Habit Foliage Flowers Seedlings
Redmaid (Calandrinia ciliata) flowers are small, about 1/2 inch
in diameter.
Flowers are perfect (have male and female structures), they have 5 purple
petals, numerous bright yellow stamens (male flower parts that release pollen),
and 3 stigma (female flower structures) which are difficult to discern.
Flowers are generally open only when the sun shines. This characteristic,
as well as the fact that flowers only have two sepals, is consistent with
all plants in the family Portulacaceae.
