I bought this basket of succulents at the grocery store and they are beautiful. I have yellow, orange and red flowers. The flowers are amazing. What are they, and how can I care for them?

Unknown by who? Its the widely grown Portulaca umbraticola. The species is easily distinguished by the broad rim surrounding the seed capsule.

Helping other people identify succulents is one of my favorite aspects. But I don’t know every species/variety/cultivar. I have 6 videos of unidentified succulents of my own on YouTube.

I’m not sure, but these almost look like Portulaca, which has flowers similar to these, in a cup shape and in many different colors. From the picture, these are a bit bigger than the common annual type, but there are other ones that get bigger and are perennial. Hope you can keep these growing and flowering the way they are – they’re beautiful!
