Thanks. I was guessing some kind of oxalis, but wasn't sure.

And a good old-fashioned garden plant. They'll grow in the
shade. They die back when it's hot, after blooming in the
spring, and then return again about this time of year. You'll
see similar plants with yellow flowers--those are also a form of
oxalis, and really quite pretty, but most people regard the
yellow sorrel as weeds. They always die back in the heat as
well.

There are advantages to not mowing your lawn.
