That one looks almost neon in color
very pretty

Thanks. I was trying to find the photo that I took of the one that ended up in my purse. Found it!!!! Now I wish I'd actually bought one of these.

oooooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love them!!!! that last one looks like a double...I have never had one!

thanks for sharing.....more more more everyone!

Actually it's not double, just has two colors on each petal. Connie's ummm....er.... "new" one has quadrupled (at least) in number of "branches". She planted those 2 alone and it's taken over the pot. Mine is just still the same two twigs with a bloom now and then. sigh

Hers gets more shade. Perhaps mine is in too much sun. Although, my others get full sun and love every minute of it.

Mine like full sun but close up early if it gets too hot. The ones on the porch that get sun until around 11:00 stay open until late afternoon!

This was interesting...one yellow bloom. I need to divide the basket.

I bought three small pots of purslane this week. They blooms were closed and so I ended up with one yellow and two orangey-red. They are healthy and tomorrow I am dividing and planting in pots. I miss the two tone ones I used to buy. Also the white ones. I can't find them anywhere right now and I don't want to pay shipping.

This bloom is from lat years pot that came back. They are pink but not the bright fuchsia pink I have had before. With the recession, many nurseries aren't carrying purslane...they have cut back.

I have not seen white purslane in at least 6 years. Have you?

Look at the purslane in the upper right...WOW!!!!

Beautiful Becky. The colors are amazing.

These are the only purslane I could find so far this year. But I did plant them into a cool basket...(see next photo)

I planted this in the evening so the blooms were gone. I'll give it a day or two and get some morning blooms!

EDITED on 8-24 to add: I posted photos of this on the thread for containers and baskets)

And the largest bloom I have had this year...about the size of a silver dollar...maybe a little larger.

This is the only purslane I have in a basket. Strangely enough, I found it one day outside a grocery store. No ID, nothing. The grocery store guy that checked me out didn't even know what to charge, so we agreed upon a price. Much appreciated blooms in this heat!

If I was to name it I would call it Very vivid ,

I planted some in the ground this summer! (create a hole with a tool, stick it in, walk away. )






It started out with only 4 stems so it's growing nicely. I just need to trim the grass.

This is so odd...some of the petals started coming out with pointed blooms!!!

The basket I have had fro 4 years now continues to surprise me with new colors every morning!

Tough? aren't they? I have some growing around here but wouldn't be safe with my "boys" running around. May have to pull some up and wash it off. Mine has little pink blooms. Is it kin to rockmoss?? I'm curious and it does remind me of porulacea.
Hey!! BeckyBoo. How are you dear??

Charleen, It is part of the portulaca family for sure. But it has the fat leaves, not the skinny ones. I'm busy as ever...thanks for asking!
