If they are Oxalis deppei, 'Iron Cross', then they're NOT invasive, they're very reliable, and come up late every spring - so don't think you've lost them. The flowers are salmon pink. The leaves get a dark mark on the middle - like a cross. I think that's what they're likely to be, as they get sold in amongst selections of bulbs - I got mine that way.
