| I just discovered this today. It's about an inch across and about an inch height - very succulent leaves.
I have a feeling I recognize this plant, but if it is what I think it is I haven't even attempted to grow it in about 15 years. I think it survived a season or two back them. I won't say what I think it is until I hear what you think it might be. Maybe it came as a hitchhiker in some of my Bluestone plants? I have a new sedum from them planted very close by. Kevin

| Here's a couple photos from the Web - not mine. The first is moss rose and second delosperma.

| Yup, ice plant. |
|
| Hmm, the seedling definitely looks more like ice plant, but does that seed freely? Portulaca seeds very freely and comes up everywhere. I once rescued a seedling from a crack in the middle of the street, lol. Either way, lucky you! Dee |

| I was thinking delosperma too, but like I said it's been years since I grew this plant. I may have had some moss rose in this bed at one point, but again - it's been at least 10 years since I've had that around. This bed is one of my hardest - SW location and on the dry side since there are a lot of tree roots around. The odd thing is that I wanted to try delosperma again, but since it's not readily available around here, I never got any. I had made a mental note to put it on my list for ordering next year. Maybe I don't have too now. Kevin |

| That looks like my seedlings of Portulaca, an annual which I find seeds itself around as Dee says freely and everywhere. |
