You're both right. Portulaca oleracea, or purslane- I believe moss rose is a common name for one variety. The leaves look only slightly more like moss rose(more narrow than paddle like), but the flowers on my moss rose are more full and frilly. Those flowers look more like my plain purslane, more like only one layer of petals....they are gorgeous! I am sure they will transplant fine into the potting mix you have. I love these plants.

Some varieties of purslane are edible, but some are not. I believe moss rose is not. I love finding useful plants on my property!
