There are many in a pot, they are about 3-5 inches tall. Really fragile. Kinda looks like a clover type plant but the leaves are more triangular. Just 3 leaves on each. The name was on the bottom started with an 'O'. But I want to try and find one this weekend. I am impatient. I think it was like Olaxsis Olaxia or something like that. AHHHH!!
Trying to find the name of a flower?
Is it "Oxalis" also called "wood sorrel". It has clover shaped leaves and grows 4" to 8" tall. It's a perennial and comes back every year. It comes in many colors including whites, pinks, yellows, and purple/lavender.

Reply:Definitely Oxalis. There are many new varieties on the market...some with green foliage and some with purple foliage. The flower colors range from yellow to white to pink.
These can be invasive, so choose your species wisely!

Reply:This plant could be Wood Sorrel. Sometimes it blooms a pretty yellow flower. As an herb, it can be eaten small amounts, say, as a garnish on fish as it has a lemony-type flavour. There is oxalic acid in it, so don't feed it to little furry pets, as it may be poisonous to them!
