I thought I'd lost them all - a few have come up with the marking on the leaves, a few without the marks, while others seem to have vanished! I am going to buy some more in the autumn.

watch out for the ones with no markings could be the dreaded weeds that run riot in my garden, they are very simular but do not flower and have no markings, and get everywhere covering everything in rust that they seem to come up with it on...... think i may have mentioned these before :-(

I certainly will, Angie! I had an Oxalis plant that got rust - it was whipped out in the twinkling of an eye!

thing is Spritz these ones that i have ...that is easier said than done :-(

It was an Oxalis adenophylla - the one with silvery leaves and small pale pink flowers. I don't know if it grew from corms, I suppose it did.

the one i have served an ASBO to is still uncontrollable because it is tiny little bulbs/corms that break up and quickly multiply especially when you try to dig them out.

....glad I haven't got that one, then! Can you post a photo of it, please, with a warning, naturally!

They do seem to be reliable - but beware! They appear soooo late in the season that you think they've gone - then little shoots appear!
