Oxalis articulata ? (see http://www.floralimages.co.uk/poxaliartic.htm)
or another Oxalis species...

Yes I agree. It is one of my favourite plants, flowering all summer.
My original came from my grandfather's garden, and has been split many
times. It is not, like some oxalis, invasive. It stays where you put
it but the clumps get bigger.
It's called "articulata" because the roots are like vertebrae ,
jointed.
