Yikes! Sounds like you have the "moss rose" type of portulaca. Don't eat it until you know that it won't hurt you. The edible kind has different leaves, and doesn't have the big, ornamenta flowers. I cook mine like I cook Southern-style green beans, but not so long. I season it with maybe 1/2 strip of bacon, because I can't buy fatback pork here.
