Re: Purslane

Jim,
I had no idea that purslane produces such beautiful flowers. I lost mine about two years ago, only to find some between my wave petunias in one of the pots. I will definitely add them to the salad when big enough.
Had more than 5 inches of rain since Thursday. We needed it badly, but why all at once?

Found the prettiest wild purslane [Portulaca oleracea] growing in my parking area this morning--

--couldn't decide whether to let it be or eat it. Ms. Fatma wants to try to transplant it to a hanging basket once the rain subsides.
