Sourgrass (Oxalis pes-caprae)

Not a grass...some sort of clover, oxalis, or sorrel

That's pretty - the name certainly doesn't do it justice!

It's called sourgrass, beacuse the stalks are sour. We used to chew on it as children. Our parents would always tells us, "Don't eat that, dogs pee on it!" We ate (chewed on) it anyway, lol ;~) I'm pretty sure it's considered a weed. It is pretty though :)
