A few weeks ago I dug up little bits of purslane that were growing in the lawn. I planted them in a re-purposed ex indoor tabletop water fountain and before long, it yielded these beautiful flowers and attracted these beautiful green flies.
I learned my purslane only blooms for a few hours in the morning.
It takes about half an hour for the flowers to open up completely .... yes, I sat beside it and waited. And guess what? It is edible and supposedly very healthy. Haven't tried it yet.

The rest of the day, it looks like this!

It was infested with white mealy bugs. I sprayed it with weed killer instead of the buy spray. It turned nasty, so I have thrown it away.
