    This plant has appeared in my garden.
    Im sure I have seen it somewhere else but cannot place it.
    Is it a keeper of a thrower?
    Help please.

    It's Oxalis deppei. Very cute. SOme say it's invasive, others say it is not completely hardy. I have it in big pots that I pull under the porch in winter. Nice flowers.
