Oxalis

Oxalis corymbosa, also known as the gold veined shamrock, is a stunning plant with its 3-lobed leaves adorned with gold veins, forming an enchanting mound. Its delightful pink blooms stand tall above the foliage. Although it may go dormant in hot summers, don't discard it; it will return when the weather cools. While oxalis species boast beautiful blossoms, they are primarily grown for their foliage. The small, intricate five-petal blossoms often begin as tubular flowers, unfurling to reveal delicate stripes and dark-colored throats. It's important to note that many oxalis plants are toxic to humans and animals, so keep them away from areas frequented by children and pets.
