Help - Identify Houseplant
Hi, I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum. I searched for a houseplant newsgroup, and I've searched the web for help in identify this common houseplant to no avail. A friend of mine needs cheering up and I would like to buy her this plant, as she really liked the one that used to belong to someone in our office. The plant has small triangular leaves on slender, delicate looking stalks. I think the leaves fold up in the evening. There are light green and burgundary varieties; the light green sends out white flowers on thread-like stems, and the burgundy one has light pink flowers. If you recognize this plant, or can refer me to a website that is helpful, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Donna |

Sounds like Oxalis, sometimes called False Shamrock.

Do a search for Oxalis triangularis and its synonym Oxalis regnellii.
