Oxalis.....


An Oxalis is such a great plant to have in a pot as it will give off a little touch of color for you no matter what. I ususally plant the little bulbs back into the ground for the summer to revive it.


A sculptural form develops as the long stem extends out it's flower head.  It doesn't get so long when it is outside in natural light but inside it stretches itself out to get to it's source of light.

Hi Larry
I only know oxalis as a noxious weed from New Zealand. It is pretty as a pot plant in the light.

Happy days

The oxalis is a four leaf clover-like plant here. It actually folds up at night and it puts these small flowers out. They sell it readily during St. Patrick days.

What a lovely color to brighten up a snowy day.
We are in the middle of another storm. I would like to go to sleep and wake up when it's springtime!
Enjoy your weekend.
Sunny :)
