Talinum calycinum looks a lot like your flower except the stigma (?) is not purple like yours. Maybe your flower is in the same family (Purslane) or same genus (Talinum)? Sorry the picture would not upload. & now there are two pictures for some reason.  http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/okwild/rocpink.html Attachments:   |

Actually if I just read right...Purslane family = to annual succulent plants & only about 40 species (verification please?  )The leaves (picture you posted) don't look succulent to me. Looks like leaves of flower which grows from a bulb? PS. Are the leaves succulent...fleshy? |

yes, Rashell..the leaves are succulent, fleshy and smooth, also edible...they said this is a kind of "GINGSENG"... Attachments:  |
