Wood-sorrel... So tasty!


I took this plant to the natural gardener. I wasn't sure if I might have planted it or not. It is natural. Oxalis Drumondii. A form of clover. The natural gardener staffperson broke off a leaf and tasted it and then handed me one. It has a sharp lemon taste. I'm thinking of collecting some leaves and adding them to salad, but the flowers are so pretty and tiny. Isn't nature grand. I hope I end up with more of these little beauties. I wonder if someone would call them weeds?

  1. I was noticing the wild oxalis yesterday while walking through the greenbelt and considered digging some up to plant in my lawn. It is really lovely.
