      You're welcome. I was pretty sure it was some type of oxalis and thought maybe a care guide would be useful too.

      That's an unusual plant, I like the colour and shape of the leaves. :)

      They seem to be like butterflies, and when the sun went down they drooped and looked like bats in a belfrey!! and this morning when the sun came up they sprang into life again.
