Question
I submitted prior but not with enough info so I hope this will help. The plant was found in Holyoke Massachusetts. It appears to be a succulent. It was growing wild in the lawn and had beautiful red flowers. Today t was in bloom again so I sending another picture. Maybe you can help me identify with this info.
Answer
Dear valk2000, thank you for the additional information--I am able to help you now. Your plant is Portulacca grandiflora (cultivated purslane), a native to the Old World. It is found naturalized in a few scattered locations in southern and western New England. Best wishes.
