We tended to have more of the white or purply pink flowers on our oxalis in NZ. One day, during my school years, I helped weed an elderly neighbours garden. She gave me some vege plants to take home and, to the dismay of my mother, I inadvertently introduced oxalis bulbs into our own garden where they flourished. To pull them out I remember having to loosen the soil underneath and carefully lift the plant so none of the dozen or so bulbs, precariously holding onto each other, would fall back to the ground and restart the cycle. I notice a few yellow flowered oxalis emerging in the lawn here. Will have to try some of those culinary suggestions. Thanks again for your thoughts and ideas.
Sounds like you have spent a lot of time with these oxalis plants... up close. Thanks for sharing these stories... let me know if you do any cooking and how it turns out!

So fascinating and lovely to read 🌿 I didn’t know so much of this!
I also just found out that sourgrass can be used as a natural dye... makes a stunning yellow colour.
How lovely!
