Ornamental Purslane

Portulaca Oleracea

Canon PowerShot SX420 IS

This variety is called 'Cupcake Peach'

The ornamental purslane is edible, although not quite as tasty as the purslane that you may find growing in your garden and pull as a noxious weed! But Purslane is incredibly nutritious, somewhat crunchy and has a slight lemony taste. It can substitute for spinach in many recipes. Young, raw leaves and stems are tender and are good in salads, omlets, and sandwiches It grows rapidly and I love it in hanging baskets.
