Can anyone identify this plant?

Aug 31, 2010 3 Replies

I was given this plant recently but do not know what it is.


It has thick succulent-type leaves. I would like to put it in my rockery here in Greece. Is this likely to be an annual?


Any help in identifying this plant would be much appreciated.

gardenbanter.co.uk has been reported as a suspicious site to do so).

This looks to be Portulaca grandiflora, an annual, but one that reseeds quite readily, where it is happy.
