Hi & welcome! Your plants are gorgeous! TY for sharing your awesome pics!

Your 1st & 3rd pics are Portulaca umbraticola. Not a true annual, though you may not be far enough south for it to survive perenially.
Wingpod Purslane (Portulaca umbraticola)

The 2nd pic is P. grandiflora. I suspect that's not a true annual either but haven't gathered enough evidence to be sure.
Moss Rose (Portulaca grandiflora)

The last pic looks like P. amilis. A perennial that is more hardy and survives over winter here, so yours should also.
Paraguayan Purslane (Portulaca amilis)

Purslane traditionally refers to P. oleracea.
Common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

But a couple decades ago, P. umbraticola was incorrectly introduced in commerce in the US as a cultivar of P. oleracea and that nickname is now quite confused.

There are cultivars of P. oleracea developed for nutritional/culinary/palatability attributes, but not in regard to ornamental blooms.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
