Any ideas? I'm drawing a blank... The glaucous leaves in the upper portion of the photo belong to the plant. An overall creeping/vining habit.

Doesn't look like any portulaca I could find/know of. Any species you think it is in particular? The leaves form rosettes that almost look like a flat leaved saxifraga.

Reminds me of Calandrinia grandiflora.

I'd guess Calandrina spectabilis

Thanks all! Now all I have to do is tell the difference between Calandrina and Cistanthe!

Plants in the genus Calandrina were recently reclassified as Cistanthe.

Calandrinia grandiflora = Cistanthe grandiflora
