Dadburn it, wwh! Yes, I know portulaca, but there's another plant like it that also grows about the same height with blossoms about the same size--and I had confused the two for a while when I once lived in Florida. Now I'll spend the rest of the afternoon trying to remember what that other one was. Ah! I just remembered! Impatiens! Only impatiens didn't have that strange network of stems that the portulaca has--and they only have one layer of petals. Both did well in Florida's heat and both also grow well here in Virginia. Portulaca has petals as soft as those of a rose.

Why are we talking about this here?
