Default Can you identify this plant

Can anyone identify this plant.
it comes from a very small bulb.
The plant covers one side of our garden and leaves many very small bulbs.

Could be any number of things. What sort of flowers are they? What are the leaves like? Can you post a photo?

Hi Sakodanny, This is a really wild guess, but if the leaves are trifoliate (like a large clover) and its spreading with lots of tiny bulbils I would put my money on Oxalis, a very invasive weed that is hard to illiminate. The best (and only way) to get rid of it is to mulch the ground with thick black plastic until it dies out. If I'm right you have my sympathy.

As you are using gardenbanter you will find they have a way of allowing you
to share photos. This is a Non-binary or Text only Newsgroup** so any
attachments are stripped out by the Servers.
(** Look it up on Wikipedia)
