Oxalis question

wrote: Last year, this group helped me to identify oxalis as a very invasive weed in my garden. I seem to have two sorts: one grows from little groups of bulbs (which I have seen called bulbils). At this time of the year each bulb produces a oxalis-typical triplet of heart-shaped leaves on a single long stem. The other sort grows from a relatively deep, thin tap root and above ground has many leaf triplets on several stems. Are these different species of oxalis ? Or, are they the same species at different stages of development ? Thanks in advance. I grow for enjoymentpink flowered oxalis articulata. It grows from a corm (?) which grows a new one on top of the old each year, so you get a clump of them a bit like vertaebrae. My originals came from my parents' garden and before that from my Grandfather. It flowers all summer and is NOT invasive. Clumps can be divided, I also have 3 others which are invasive. I have wood sorrel which spreads happily about by seed and is easily removed if necessary. The other two are a nuisance. Similar plants, spreading over the ground by creeping roots and also by explosive seed pods, One has bronze leaves, the other green and both have yellow flowers, Pam in Bristol |
