Can anyone identify this for me please?

As

you can see, the stem - at the moment - is about 10 cms long.
There are three clover-shaped leaves joined at the top of the stem.
Its the seed bundle at the bottom that intrigues (and frightens !)
me.
I suspect it is a "cultivated wild flower" which has become a weed for
me.
Thanks in advance (and sorry if it is obvious . . .)

Some kind of Oxalis?

yup. we've got that all over the place. It's pinkish flowered presumably?
The 'seeds' are in fact tiny bulbs from which next years crop comes. If
they're the same as ours they're not that much of a problem, I just pull
them up to make room for other stuff. I never seem to run out of them :-)
