Noone I asked can remember seeing this oxalis here before (eg. my
grandma). It spread the last, let's say 10 years across all gardens and
places.
It is a US native. I am sooo sorry. If you could see all the terrible weeds
that we got from Europe, you would sympathize. ;-)
I received the thread as it appears above, without a reference. But if
the OP means _O. articulata_, the Pink Oxalis, which is troublesome in
some British gardens, then the Fitters' 1974 Collins _Field Guide_
reckons it's from South America. If the Fitters were up to date, it
must be an introduction in North America as well as Europe.
The Upright Yellow Oxalis, confusingly designated _O. europaea_, is
marked "from N. America". I don't see that so much.
Mike.
