Thank you so much Becky

This is proving much harder than I thought. Vicki would you go to the data base and see if I am just not communicating properly?

Becky, I posted to you about this in the Plant Database thread in case I did it wrong, Sue will let me know.

I have submitted the change from P. grandiflora to the correct P. umbraticola and hopefully will continue checking on the latin species names if these are approved.

TY, Becky!!

Lin, something between the time of your comment and when I looked a few minutes ago, but none of the entries on P. grandiflora look like P. pilosa to me. P. pilosa has only 5 petals, flowers are about the size of a pencil eraser, always hot pink, not sold at stores (except maybe a specialty succulent place.) P. grandiflora flowers are so much bigger. P. oleracea flowers ARE always small and yellow, also with 5 petals.

You don't sound confused to me, you noticed the same discrepancies I did. Taking common names out of the discussion clears up everything. Not much point in discussing which is more often called purslane, or moss rose. And how would one say "chisme" anyway? Chiss-me? Kiss-me? Chizme? Chiss-um? Cheese-may? IDK, and don't want to devote memory space to that.

I think I have the data base corrected but it would be nice to fill it with the Portulaca/Purslane that they have listed. We need to attribute the web site if we use something and also to get permission from them. I have found they are happy to have their flowers shown.
