ID Succulent, woolly, purple flower

Question

Succulent woolly purple flower needs ID 3

Succulent woolly purple flower needs ID 2

Succulent woolly purple flower needs ID 1

I took the photos late in the afternoon so the flowers are closed. It produces lots of seeds per flower & like to grow in sand. I've looked everywhere & cannot ID it. Anyone know what it is?

Cheers for the ID both of you, looks like it is Portulaca pilosa, it varies form so much.

Medicinal Plants of Central Asia: Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan: Uzbekistan states that in chinese medicine portulaca is used to alleviate pain & swelling. Effects include a sharp increase in blood pressure due to high noradrenaline content. The plant contains an abundance of catecholamines, dopamine & noradrenaline, free oxalic acids, alkaloids etc. Edited by Leaves
