| I have the prettiest trailing plant & have no idea what it is. It has yellow flowers with pink/red centers. It reminds me of a succulent but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much, Cindi

| Looks like Purslane to me. However, I am no expert. |

| Oh, I LOVE this plant, but can't find it again - wonder why they don't sell more of the unusual species of plants? |

| Debi, back in Missouri, where I came from, the Portulaca re-seeded every year - this one must not, if yours quit coming back. |

| it did re-seed but i think some of these hybrids are weaker. each year, instead of more in the pot, it was less and less until one year, no seeds sprouted at all...or maybe the seeds are sterile and what i had coming back was from the roots and a particularly cold winter that final year did them in. |

| Kay. I have loads of it here but I am not sure if I can send cuttings. Check out ebay for a source. |
