Thank you,
You got the Purslane right.
Although I have a different Primrose, “Mexican Primrose”. Scientific name: Oenothera speciosa

I believe Mexican primroses are the same as evening primroses. If so they are safe.
Be sure to do a picture comparison to be sure that it is the same

Yes, Evening Primrose is the same. Do you feed the whole plant or just the flowers?
