On My Doorstep

A cluster of violet wood-sorrel's pink flowers, with the clover-like leaves in the background. 'Oxalis violacea, the violet woodsorrel, is a perennial plant native to the United States. Similar in appearance to small clovers such as the shamrock, the plant bears violet colored flowers among three-parted leaves having heart-shaped leaflets. Wood sorrel emerges in early spring from an underground bulb.'

I found these wildflowers blooming beside my doorstep several years ago. A bit of research showed that they were Violet Wood Sorrel. Because of the clover-like leaves it is sometimes considered to be the traditional Irish shamrock. There are several patches of them in my yard now, and I enjoy seeing them bloom every spring.
