Oxalis is underrated as a landscaping plant! The bees love it. Edible (in small quantities... though probably wouldn't eat these, the dog also likes marking it, ha ha) #gardening#garden#flowers
@ai6yr Despite the leaf shape, it's not clover, but Oxalis pes-caprae - sourgrass. You can eat it, but should do so in moderation as it has oxalic acid, which can mess with digestion and also contribute to kidney stone formation.
@ai6yr The difficulty with oxalis as a landscape plant is that after a few years all you will have is oxalis. Stuff grows everywhere. Stuff grows on concrete. Can't stop it. Can't kill it, short of herbicides.
One of the sure signs we've seen of climate change where we are is that it used to get cold enough in the winters to knock back the oxalis. That doesn't really happen any more. Hate the stuff.
