Common name creeping woodsorrel Family oxalidaceae Life cycle annual/perennial Flowers yellow Size 2" One of two (groups of) species of oxalis weeds in our garden. This one stays low, and grows wiry stems with dark foliage (sometimes almost black). Heart-shaped leaves, small yellow flowers. Not a problem weed - it's rather pretty, although it sometimes requires to trowel to pull up the roots. It followed us to our Houston garden!
