    Spotted growing wild behind a bus stop in the middle of a busy town centre:

    The leaves look like a cross between a clover and a nasturtium

      Thanks @pete - pretty little thing, and seems to be positively thriving given its unusual location.

      It's tough FC, not sure of it's full title, I'm sure someone will come up with that at some point, but a nice plant but only opens its flowers when the sun is out.

          Thanks @Silver surfer :)

          Looking at the images in your links, I would say you are spot on - but then to be fair, I don't think I have ever known you be anything other than spot on!
