Plant ID please

[Annie]

It's a plant, but it's a weed. I need to know what kind it is for my niece's school project LOL.
She has to collect a bunch of wildflowers for a class she is in. And I have no idea what these weeds are.
And yes they were in one of my flower beds
But she was helping me weed

Its a type of oxalis and a total PITA to try to get rid of

Yep, it sure is oxalis and miserably persistent.
I try to pull it before it flowers and seeds. Then we put mulch on the bed and what manages to get through has a spindly main stem and is easy to pull or hit with Roundup. It takes a good two or 3 years to get rid of it because I think some of the seeds stay viable that long and keep sprouting.
Sorry you have it.

[Annie]

Oh don't be sorry LOL.
I have LOTS of weeds, but at least I'm here to pull them

Thanks for the ID!

That's the spirit , Annie! And in it a kind of pretty weed, isn't it?

[Muffy]

Thanks everybody! It's my daughter doing the school project. Now I have like 15 others to help her ID.....

It also comes with a pink bloom and yes keep them in pots as they do tend to wonder off!

There is also a chocolate brown leafed oxalis with yellow flowers the is cultivated. It is sterile. I use it in hanging baskets and planters. Here I am pulling up the green one and buying the brown one. Go figure.

I have those growing everywhere in my outer, weed yard DH actually picked me a little bouquet the other day I think they are pretty and I love the yellow! Now I know what they are

It is yellow wood sorrel(Oxalis stricta L). or creeping wood sorrel(Oxalis corniculata L.). Go to this link:

Although I believe it's the first one because it doesn't seem to be creeping.
