I saw these succulents in a garden show in San Mateo, CA in 2011...liked them a lot...

I liked the pyramidal growth of these ones:


Interesting bumpy texture:


Wish I can do one like this

Those are all great, tarev. You aren't helping me get rid of any of my tender succulents.

I think the plant in your first picture is what was being promoted a couple of years ago as 'Hawaiian Portulaca' (Portulaca molokiniensis). I acquired one, but it is not exactly thriving here, although still alive.

Hetty I think you are right! Thanks for the ID! Now I know what to look out for even more
Aww Tee...fellow enablers love to keep company

Hetty, it says on some write-ups I read that the plant is rare and endangered..lucky you to have one!

Tarev, that is correct. However, I think it is a plant that only thrives in a very specific location and climate, and therefore it does not do so well elsewhere. I suppose that is the reason it is endangered.

I will keep an eye for it just in case I see it again during the upcoming plant shows
