I call it 'that thing'. It knows what I mean.
Probably Potentilla reptans - creeping cinquefoil, or maybe, and just as
worse, yellow sorrel. Oxalis corniculata.
No, see post above. Geum urbanum. I'd hope I can tell a geum from an
oxalis at least!
I do also have oxalis corniwhatsit, but it's really not a problem plant
here. No potentillas at all, not even decorative ones - it's too wet for
'em I think. This river valley soaks everything in rising fog from the
bottom up, when we aren't stuck in a cloud that's floated in from the sea
and hasn't noticed the land has got taller...
I haven't mentioned the liverworts and ferns that sprout everywhere, but I
can't really complain of those: I do love ferns and they also make great
compost/mulch.
