          Jenny,
          I have that Oxalis out in the garden.
          Not one of the invasive species.

            Wow, did not know they could be invasive. But for me they are in the wrong zone to do anything crazy outside, they'd die during the winter. Can't imagine minding them running about anyway, they re so cute.

              Some species of Oxalis can be very invasive.
              This one (Oxalis triangularis) is fine
              The more sun it gets, the more intense the red colour of the leaves will be.

                That's an understatement!! :)

                They're very difficult to get rid of once they've taken hold. They will come up everywhere - in the garden, in pots, through tiny cracks in paving etc.

                      It's one of my best houseplants that also does really well outdoors all summer. Bought as just a couple of bulbs two years ago it multiplies very quickly and blooms in flushes throughout the year..............
