Default a very red clover plant

This red clover reminds me of those purple leafed Norway maples or those
purple leafed plums or cherries. I do not know whether those purple leafed
trees are recessive-genes of a species or whether the purple leafed are
mutations within a species.

So the question is whether some particular cultivars are due to recessive
genes or due to mutations. Perhaps this red leafed and red stemed clover is
ordinary Dutch white clover with a mutation or perhaps recessive genes.

It has a small yellow flower, bell shaped forming. And I kind of doubt it is
a clover lacking nutrients because within 5 feet of a patch is normal Dutch
white clover. So I think this red leafed and red stemed clover a normal plant
and I am unable to identify its species.

You got Oxalis in your lawn. It's a weed and will rapidly establish
itself beyond your ability to eradicate it short of broadleaf weed
killers. Or you could look on the bright side: it's edible, and if you
do nothing, you will have a plot of tart, tasty potherbs where your
lawn used to be.

This monster consistently makes it onto gardeners' lists of most
intractable weeds, up there with malefactors like bindweed and spotted
spurge.
