Your first plant is Portulaca grandiflora, it grows wild at my place too

The leaves do fall off in autumn and the plant goes dormant but cold freezes the caudex and causes rot. We usually only see mushrooms at my place for about 2-3 months in summer when it rains a lot but

Predator poo usually contains hair and bone fragments, your photo looks more like that of a grazing animal that chews cud such as an antelope so you shouldn't worry too much about that

I put them on an east windowsill and keep dry in winter anyway. I've lost more than one to winter temperatures, they occur in the tropical parts of my country whereas we get frost sometimes where I live

Lovely hybrid collection! I really like the species although I struggle to grow them with our winters. I learned to keep them inside the house when it's cold

Advice that I followed to the letter

When you live in a violent crazy place, you make decisions like this or go to hide in fear somewhere

SA is a crazy place although I don't even have a proper fence around my yard. Don't have as much to steal is my motto. Knowing who all your neighbours are helps

😆 well if you can look down and see anything at all you are doing better than most at managing the beer belly

The world has gone mad

I feel so sad for them

It's really terrible what people do to each other

Awesome! So happy for you!
