My favourites are South American hardy Oxalis, and on the top I'm placing O. adenophylla. I have few forms of it - you can see on attached pictures (traditional commercial form not included) but still looking for others. May be someone can offer?

I can't do O. adenophylla either David. I thought it was because it was too hot (Fin Haugli has superbly grown plants in Tromso) but my friends grow them in hot scree. So I've tried them cooler too and they didn't come through their first dormancy. O. enneaphylla and laciniata both do well so why not the other?

That Oxalis is one species I've never come across here in Australia.  Whether it is just that they haven't been available but ARE in collections, I don't know.  Nor enneaphylla either for that matter.  They look to have crackers of flowers.  Another on my "loved pictures" list is 'Ion Heckler' (I don't think that is quite spelt right), which is another one I've not seen here.  So many nice Oxalis, aren't there.  ;D

Thanks Maggi, you beat me to it. Paul's version reminds me of an elderly friend whose show entries of Pleione 'Hekla,' the Icelandic volcano, are always labelled 'Heckler.' :)

As I said, I didn't think the spelling was right, but you all knew what I was talking about at least.  ;D

I'm growing all my Oxalis in greenhouse and in outside garden. They bloom perfectly in most cases. Generally it depends from cultivar. Never with me flowered Oxalis ennaephylla minutaeflora, rarely and only few blooms and only in greenhouse forms cv. Sheffield Swan. I think that I didn't see flowering Oxalis loricata, but may be plants is too young. Later will try to show you some more pictures.

Few more Oxalis. Between my pictures I found some shot of O. loricata seedlings - you can see variability and special shape of leaves.
Two named cultivars of O. ennaephylla - earlier mentioned 'Sheffield Swan' - you can see both flowers formed this summer, another is more floriferous 'Waverly'.
From Oxalis patagonica - cv. 'Seven Bells' and 'Sweet Sue'
and as last hybrid Oxalis x 'Ione Hecker'.
Later will show you unnamed seedlings of patagonica and ennaephylla.

Is the 'Sheffield Swan' selection any or much different from enneaphylla alba Janis? The former is in New Zealand but not distributed by its grower so I can't compare with my own alba form. Pic below but rain damaged. It flowers very freely and I've had a few seed pods as well.
