BLUE flowers? I can't think of what that would be. Neither of
the purslanes would normally be described as insipid, in the way
that many salad vegetables are. I quite like lambs' lettuce,
which is pretty insipid, but it doesn't have blue flowers, either.


yes, silly of me, I was thinking lambs lettuce. The flowers always look
pale blue to me.


Ah. Upon reminding myself, I now know what you mean. Because of
its insipidity, I have always tried sowing it for a winter crop,
but have never really succeeded, so have given up. My last sowing
of rocket did well as a winter crop this year, though.
