White to pale pink in color. This is
two pots together but I planted quite a few in each pot and they are
hanging over the edge.

HOW BIG ARE THE FLOWERS, THE LEAVES LOOK VERY SMALL IN RELATION TO THE FLOWERS?

These flowers actually come in threes. That one Bob took a picture of was
the first one open. Here is another picture of some that appeared in
another pot showing the stem of three:

I had to wait for a sunny to day to measure them for you. The flowering
stem is about 11-12 cms. (4-4½") tall so it is much shorter than O. bowiei.
The flowers are about 3½ cm. (1½") in diameter when fully open or at least
the ones I measured were from the tip of one of the petals to the one on
the oppositie side.

The leaves are very shiny and the flowers a pretty color. I wish I could
share some with you. I placed it next to a Oxalis bowiei with the yellowing
leaves and you can see the leaves really do look alike. I think the storage
organ is different too.

One of the joys of Oxalis is the long period of bloom with different
species starting in fall. I too am happy I got introduced to them.

One that started blooming in October and is still blooming now in April I'd
like help in identifying. My tag says BX? Since I am sure I'll have extras
to share I'd love to figure out what they are. When they first came out
they didn't seem very happy in the sun so I moved them to part shade and
they have been blooming ever since. White to pale pink in color. This is
two pots together but I planted quite a few in each pot and they are
hanging over the edge.

Can any of you Oxalis fans tell me what species this is?
