    I’ve got that Oxalis. Had it but didn’t know. It never had the two shades but does now. Must make a difference in lighting. Boy was I happy when I saw that.

    I have Oxalis as houseplants, but not this one.
    It is a beauty Miriam.

    I have been wondering what this plant was! My neighbor gave me this plant last year and I just recently divided in and planted some in the ground. I did not know what it was called, or if it needed sun, shade, or a combination. Now I can do some research, at least, to see if I can place it anywhere better in the garden.
