    Recently I came across this Oxalis and since I took the photographs I have been trying to identify the species without success. Since my interest lies only with wild flowers my research has been limited to Wild Flower handbooks, guides etc., but without any luck. This makes come to the conclusion that this flower is an escapee cultivar. Can you help?

    Probably Oxalis latifolia.

    Dear Ron B, Thank you for reply to my thread. Yes, it is latifolia, I learnt this a few minutes ago in Dave's Garden. Please tell me whether this plant is a cultivar or does it grow wild. This is the first time I have ever come across it. Best wishes, towler
