ABC Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday, October 22, 2014

ABC Wednesday
O is for Oxalis

Oxalis grow all around the world except in the polar regions. They may be grown as potted plants or as garden ornamentals. Leaves may have from 3 to 10 leaflets.

The flowers have 5 petals and may be white, yellow, pink or multi-colored. Here in US zone 7,
my Oxalis flower from Spring to late Autumn.


And now for Outdoor Wednesday:


Greetings from Pontotoc High School, Pontotoc, Mississippi, USA

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

    1. Yes, I am feeling much better, though I still get tired easily and take an afternoon nap each day. My hair is beginning to grow again, too.
      Have a great day!

  3. The only oxalis I have grown is the one that is a garden weed. It seems we will never be able to get rid of it! It is such a nuisance that my husband won't even let me bring the ornamental type into the garden, even though I tell him that variety is probably not invasive! Happy fall to you and happy gardening!

  6. We have several shamrock plants. They die back completely in the winter, then come back each spring in fuller and fuller clumps Quite rewarding~
