Just to add to Mary Sue’s excellent advice — I found almost all of my Oxalis, a great many of the species that Mary Sue mentions by way of the PBX BX. And I discovered the hard way that if you don’t start watering the Oxalis by early to mid-August here in Maryland, they will start growing anyway, even if you have kept them perfectly dry in the basement during the dormant period. Best to just start watering in a timely manner and then they will all reward you with flowers. Mine are all in the greenhouse where it probably mocks up a Northern California wintertime (Perhaps it’s too cold outside in Washington State). As Mary Sue says the flowering goes on for months. I’ve posted about them many times, most recently with a time-lapse movie showing the flowers opening in the morning.
