In the Redwoods these oxalis make a perfect carpet on the forest floor. I love growing them it reminds me of that

Is this what I took a picture of in the forest today?

It's delicious too. Add some to your salads just don't go nuts or you may poop yourself.

Kidney stones are no joke.

Oh wow I don't think I've ever seen this outside before (east coast US) almost always in house plants potted. And usually the purple stringy variety. Are they related??

Really? I've got some out back that I didn't plant. As far as I know it's wild.

East coast? Wooded? Reading about sorrels now. Might be moving to a more worded area and getting stoked.

Northeast, they're in a partial shade spot.

The area was previously used as a vegetable garden some years ago, so I'm not sure if they're actually wild, but I can't imagine they were planted for eating.

I know plant fanciers can see things like this and be like Oooooh, beautiful. To me it's leaves. I guess that's my loss. But I thought oxalis was daisies.

In some climates (like mine), some Oxalis species are called "straggler daisies." Not related to actual daisies though (the Bellis genus).
