Oxalis storage organs are so different in size as well as form. I find it
useful to know what they look like when I am repotting so I decided to make
a wiki page and gather all the photos we had of them. Nhu is correct that
the bulb of Oxalis hirta 'Gothenburg' is gigantic. It also doesn't increase
very much like some of the other Oxalis. On the other hand Oxalis glabra
and Oxalis pusilla are really tiny. Having a grid or ruler in the photos
makes them easier to compare. Sometimes I added more than one photo of the
bulbs of the same species to illustrate that different forms can be
different in size and in shape a bit too. That is certainly true of forms
of Oxalis purpurea, Oxalis flava, Oxalis hirta.

If anyone has photos of the storage organs of species we have on the wiki
already but are missing photos of the storage organs, send them to me and
I'll add them.

Oxalis bowiei also has big pink flowers and in a good year like this one
is very dazzling.
