5. Beautiful! I have some Purslane. Mine isn't as pretty as yours.

I'm growing it for the edible greens. The stems, flower buds, and seeds are also all safe for consumption.

Your Mexican Flame Vine is beautiful. But it's outside my zone.

6. It dies to the ground if we have a freeze, but has always come back quickly.

7. I guess I could give it a try. It's not like I haven't killed plants myself before. 😄👍

10. It's a constant struggle between the drought, the bugs and the wild animals.

The deer would probably eat cardboard here if I drew colorful flowers on it. They will definitely dead head flowers before the blooms are finished opening. 😀

Have a lovely afternoon, Ed. Thanks for the discussion. ❤️

We're starting to bloom here. Some are already done, like my peonies.
