    Hello All,

    The picture attached I captured this morning. Could someone take a peak and tell me what type of plant that is? We have that palnt in a pot which is also planted next to our purslane. This plant blooms its flowers in the morning from 8am to 12pm. Thank you !

    Warm Regards,

    Cara

    This is a purslane (Portulaca) as well.

    Thank you. Just making sure this kind is also edible as well.

    If it doesn't look just like the other then it may not be suitable (or as suitable), I don't know. There are other purslanes that look like the picture you posted, which particular kind it is is another matter. It may just be another color of the same one you have been eating or it may be a different one that got in there somehow.
