Portulacaceae Family

Portulacaceae (Purslane family) refers to a family of flowering plants and herbs. This family includes about 500 species in 20 genera. Notably the family includes the Portulaca which is often grown in local gardens and the Spring Beauty which seems to pop out from under the snow in the early spring. I have seen Spring Beauties in full bloom on ground that was covered just a day or two before.
