It started growing in my front flower garden and it made such nice ground cover that I just mulched right around it. It has such nice succulenty looking leaves, doesn't it?
But does it have a name?

What is this plant?
Most normal folk would probably classify this as a "weed". If you've been hanging out around here for long, you may know that I love weeds. So much so that I may even from time to time call them "plants".

Purslane I believe.... Love your blog! ~from a struggling gardener in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona
Purslane
Purslane it is and I have always thought it was a weed but I recently saw a think about using it like salad greens or cucumber in your recipes! I haven't tried it yet so not sure what it really tastes like. My goat loves it though, lol!
The purslane we bought from a nursery has flowers and much smaller leaves than that, so ???? It looks fine, though, why not let it stay.
It is purslane!I don't like it , because it is extremely invasive!
April is right, some people eat it. I once saw a guy trying to sell it at the farmer's market! I had to laugh, because I pull it out of my garden and throw it away! It does have pretty fleshy leaves. --Min
Some weeds imitate plants and I think this one does that. I've always called it "weed purslane". It's flowers are not at all like real purslane Suggest you just keep it until it starts looking weedy...
