This is one of many pages describing plants and animal life that we have in our garden. In many cases, we don't know what they are. Comments welcome.
By default the photos on this page are relatively small (“thumbnails“). Click on them to get progressively larger photos.

I had thought that this was a weed, but it seems to be Portulaca oleracea, also known as pig weed or purslane, and the Western Australian Herbarium does not state that it's a weed. It seems that Australian indigenous people use it as a foodstuff.
