A nice, compact Oxalis with bronze foliage and pink flowers. It really needs the sun for the leaves to turn this dark color.

WOW! The flower is so well set off against the incredibly dark foliage! The flower reminded me of an Auricula for a moment!

I just received the bulbs for an even more exciting one, Oxalis corymbose aureo-reticulata, a variegated one. But this is my current favorite Oxalis.

Nice find. From South Africa. Does it go dormant for long?

It has been growing all winter (I got the bulbs last fall). Yesterday it had 4 big flowers open, and it really does look great.
