The purslane flowered! I honestly didn’t realize they could have fully opened flowers like this. I had just assumed they were cleistogamous since I hadn’t seen the flowers and just saw the fruit and seeds but I guess in certain conditions they open up. Or maybe they open up normally but are just just extremely short-lived?

Succulents Part 8--Portulaca, Euphorbia, and Spergularia
Succulents are a wide variety of plants, spanning multiple orders. Some have succulent leaves while others have succulent stems. Cactuses are succulents, but not all succulents are cactuses. Defining what exactly makes a succulent is a little tricky. For example, cabbage leaves are considered by some to be succulent, but tulip and onion leaves apparently aren't.
All photos mine. Unedited except for the fourth one down on the left, which was taken in RAW format and edited from there to bring out the colour while maintaining the contrast of light and shadow.
There are Portulaca cultivars that are popular in gardens as annuals. But the weed known as purslane (second photo down on the right) is a Portulaca species with a nearly global native range. It's edible (has a mild salty taste), makes a nice ground cover in my opinion, and is unfairly maligned.
But don't mistake it for Euphorbia (spurge)! Because that is poisonous. Some cultivars look rather nice in the garden, though. One tell is that Euphorbia species will leek a milky sap if you cut it whereas purslane will not.
Spergularia (sea spurrey, sand spurrey, etc.) have very tiny pink flowers that you might notice if you look down on the grass from time to time if your city doesn't use pesticides. They are edible but I haven't tried them.

Friday, 25th February, 2022 🌿
Plenty of people think it's messy and unkempt for plants to be growing between pavers but I've always really liked that nature takes over look.

Love my fairy garden 😍
🧚🏻♀️🌸🧚🏻🌼🪴
It’s really grown in nicely 💚
Some close-ups of the lovely portulaca and decorations 🌼
An apology to the sweet cherub 👼 decoration that I didn’t realize had fallen off the bench, because normally I’d fix that before taking any pictures 😂🙈
But the cherub is happily relaxing on the bench and enjoying the view in this one 👼🥰
Some adorable decorations I got from Dollar General!
They have a great selection of affordable fairy garden decorations, and I love the design of them ☺️
Hope you enjoyed these photos and this post 🥰

Still in love with the Mithra Broadleaf Purslane! Along with being an outdoor edible, they make attractive indoor plants as well!
I'm still floored over how much larger it is than the wildtype purslane. Unlike a lot of edibles it's able to withstand being in a container pretty well too! A lot of food plants end up getting miniaturized and stop growing in containers unless they're over 3-5+ gallons, but the bottom one got to a pretty healthy size in a standard 4-inch! (I have since stir fried it). They also propagate easily from cuttings as well, which is good to have since they're annuals. The one in the gallon container is a cutting of the one I harvested.
Golden purslane (Portulaca oleracea) tastes mild, tangy, and is mildly mucilaginous! You can use it raw in salads or in cooked meals. As mentioned above, I use them for stir fry. The stems are pretty tender as well so you don't end up with a fibrous mess when you include them.
