I know what I think this is but not 100% sure as I've not seen it in any local woods



Whatchya reckon?

Some kind of purple clover?

[Mayaca]

I think that is wood sorrel. A cousin of clover. The heart shaped leaves in 3 is a classic sign.

[Mayaca]

Totally edible but high in Oxalic acid. So you have to do small amounts. I LOVE to make green tea with it. The Oxalic is a harsh vitamin C. So it makes a tangy tea. I love it.

Wood sorrel.

[Unclefred]

I agree with wood sorrel, I have it too but my variety does not purple. It's hard to kill without killing the grass too.

What everyone else has said.

[swampbilly]

[Absolutely!]

it's oxalis, sometimes known as woodland sorrel and sometimes called a shamrock.

It's not in any way shape or form a cousin of clover, which is a nitrogen fixing legume.

It's a giant pain in the arse.

I fear death. Painful painful death.

We all die, Abs. Embrace it, for it will come to us all; at some point in our lives.

Some sooner, rather than later.

correct me if I'm wrong, but it always comes right at the end.

I bags you eat it first HH.

Nope. I died once and was brought back. Therefore it was not at the end of my life, seeing as I'm currently living right now.

So, there.

[HeavyHauler]

But, generally speaking; you'd be correct.

I'd say like what? 99% of the time, it comes at the end. Just that 1% or whatever percentage it actually is, it doesn't.
