Well, I definitely see the Purslane connection, hadn't realized it
before
when we thought it was a sedum. Feels good to be able to call it by

Kitty and others. My succulents were Portulacaria afra, one green,
one
variegated. Colorful [common] names are purslane tree [green] and
elephant bush [variegated]. Here are sites to my pictures.

great little plant., It is a purslane relative, and the leaves look
a
bit like land cress leaves.
