Thanks to Roger, who noticed my vague - very vague - note about "this". This what? I just supposed that I was the only member of this group never to grow Oxalis versicolor. I have never grown any Oxalis, but the listing in BX 148 last July made it sound as common as I thought it was, just a rarity here. Well it is charming and aptly named with the nice contrast of the deep rose pink edges on otherwise white petals. Does everyone grow this thing? Am I really the last one to grow Oxalis versicolor? Apologies, I must have been thinking turkey in anticipation of our American Thanksgiving. Best wishes to all. Best Jim W.
