Some sort of succulent??

[Elohi]

These are popping up in my yard. What are they? The flowers open each morning and close at night.

I think that's pink purslane.

I think that's pink purslane.

Does purslane have thick leaves like a succulent?

Also, any ideas on what this stuff is? It has popped up where my huge mallows were. (The mallows that couldn't handle all the rain, soggy ground, and mold)

 

[Yvonne G]

Yes it does. Sorry, I don't recognise that other one.

I think you are right, just looked it up. Thanks Yvonne!

The purslane here doesn't grow flowers.
It's a good now and again tortoise treat.

Could that be ground elder?

The second photo?
The internet photos show groupings of three leaves.

I agree with Yvonne on the purslane.
The second one may be a weedy Acalypha.

Should I pull them out of the yard?

I would.
