    I was told it was a form of Oxalis, but the guy was not at all sure!

    So, I knew someone out there would be able to put a label on it!

    I was given a 2 inch cutting a few years ago from a friend, and they did not know what it was!

    Warmest regards,

    To one and all!

    Oxalis corniculata. An abundant invasive weed in many areas.

    Thanks Michael,

    It looks so nice, even if it's classed as a weed!

    I'll still grow it as the Wife likes it!

    I suppose one mans weed is anothers plant!


    Best regards Michael, and thanks!

    How big are the flowers. It might be another species in section corniculatae.

    I agree with David. There are a number of closely related species, nearly all of which have at times been lumped under the name O. corniculata. They vary in flower size and not all are weedy.
