    It is about 8-12 inches tall, clump forming perenial with pink flowers which last for months.

    It's an oxalis, but which one I don't know. There are probably hundreds. This one will most likely have little tiny bulbs, sometimes with a carrot like tuber growing down from them.

    Probably O. crassipes rosea.

    I am having trouble finding the differance between Oxalis debilis corymbosa and Oxalis crassipes rosea. In both cases the plant description and pictures seem to be the smae as mine - any thoughts?

    In my experience O. rosea has rounder petals than O. corymbosa.
