my oxalis garden

[TheOnionMan]

You may like to compare with other pink acetosellas shown earlier:
A pink form is often seen offered on the seed exchanges.

Stephen, good seeing my own photo again... I thought it looked familiar  Actually, it is also good to discover that others have bright pink forms, such as with Trond's plants, because when I was first wondering about what Oxalis I had, researching the potential species such as O. acetosella and montana, photo invariably show mostly white-flowered plants, the flowers veined with pink, but no overall base pink color.

I do love this plant, and while it gets around the woodland garden a bit too freely, it is so shallowly rooted it can't really hurt anything. The soft billowy foliage which expands after flowering looks good too.

Hello dabi!
What a collection of oxalis! I knew the genus of Oxalis had many members but didn't realise this.
Are some of your plants hardy, that is tolerating winter freezing temperatures?
I grow only a few species in my garden, here is one: Oxalis acetocella or maybe a hybrid.

Trond, this pink acetosella is phantastic. Not hybridf, I saw few pinkish in our forests, too, but no one so bright to worth collect. Yours is very good.

Thanks, Janis!
The reason I assumed it is a probable hybrid is that I once or twice have collected very pink woodsorrels from the wild here but I have also once planted an O. montana. Neither are to be found where they were planted but seedlings occur everywhere, some with leaves that are much bigger than normal.

Nice to see yours plant too Mike and! The last picture shows a form very similar to mine but I have never got  woodsorrels from seed or plant exchanges.

Lesley,

re: Ox. obtusa.

> ... I think the only one we have is the coral one or very close to it.

There are at least 3 colours in NZ, an 'apricot', a 'pink' and a 'yellow'.  I've got all 3 and can supply all but the yellow one at this stage if you want any?

BTW:  There is an 'Oxalis-growers' group on YAHOO, PM me if anyone wants details.

Andrew.
