A taste of the Pacific

A clear, cool morning sits atop Fort Lauderdale this morning. Upper 50's with only whisps of stratus clouds.

Portulaca molokiniensis "Hawaiian Portulaca"
At right is a portulaca I bought a few weeks back at Home Depot. A native of Hawaii,  it grows 1-1.5' with yellow flowers. I crammed 3 of them, 4" apart, into a planter to make sure they got nice and full. I need to research more and determine whether it is edible or not. I may be able to grow an "apocalypse" garden made entirely of different types of Portulacaceae.
