Fermi the first photo looks like a candy cane. How lovely.

Really sweet in every way, Fermi, and I love the Oxalis palmifrons in leaf like a mini tropical forest

Dabi, your O. luteola is somewhat different from that species as grown here in New Zealand. I can't show you though because mine didn't come up this year and I think I have lost it. It is not quite hardy in NZ. I'll try to fins somone with it and take some pictures. It is one of my favourites, a stong ciron yellow, almost stemless flowers and the bright apple green leaves are a slightly different shape. It flowers in mid winter. We also have a red-blotched leaf form called O. luteola var maculata.

Pat, the ways of your ICON and our Biosecurity list are very mysterious. Among others, O. corniculata which you may import, is a vicious weed here with tiny yellow flowers. No bulbs but creeping stems and a propensity for seeding just about surpassing any other plant! If it gets into a cushion plant or a close mat, you will NEVER get rid of it. And adenophylla is not only very choice indeed, but - in my experience - darned difficult to grow. I know others manage it well but I've lost it several times.

Hello Lesley Cox 
O. luteola is easy to find seed .This year I did not take photographs
O. luteola var maculata. Is a very beautiful species .I here call it O.luteola 'splash'
I do not have planted it.
If have the opportunity to find that I should try planting.
O. corniculata giving me a headache
Birds should be brought to me a gift

Hello fermides
Your Oxalis palmifrons very dense long
I guess the relationship between the temperature low enough

My God! Will you look at all those buds/flowers on O. palmifrons?!!! Mine has never had a bud yet, in 20 years!!!

And luteola flowers quite well but has never set seed.

Dabi, where do you get all these beautiful species and different colour forms? Are they for sale in Taiwanese nurseries?

[fermi de Sousa]

Wow, dabi!
You have a great collection of Oxalis obtusa varieties! I've never seen any of these different colour forms!
Your Oxalis palmifrons is also pretty spectacular - a great clone, especially for flowers! When you say you have to buy it every year is this because it doesn't survive your winters? Or does it flower itself to death? Mine hardly flowers - and usually before the foliage appears - but spreads like crazy!
cheers

Hi fermides
Annual dormancy
It does not produce bulbs
The original bulbs will consume nutrients
I have no cause
Will challenge this year, the fourth year
