My heart is thumping - what a gorgeous oxalis with exquisite marking in my favourite colour and the leaf looks intriguing but I would like to see more if possible :)

Janis,

All very nice.  I've never seen laciniata available here. As well as the flowers, I just love the leaves.  Beautiful!!

While you guys have those flowering in the north, here I have massoniana, perdicaria, hirta and purpurea varieties (plus a coupel of others) flowering at the moment.

I just love the markings of these exquisite miniatures and the way they 'sit' on the beautiful leaves - how big a cushion will it ultimately become Janis?

It is second year of vegetation. In pot was planted one rhizome. Originally they were collected in Chile by Kirsten A. from Denmark. She sent a lot to me and I made few selections.

I've posted pics of some autumn flowering ones to the "South African Bulbs" thread.

Now a pair of adenophylla still not started blooming but those are attractive in leaves, too. Purple Heart has purple centre of leaves, another purple edge of leaflets. Picture of Purple Heart in flowers is from last summer.
