Oxalis
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
The genus Oxalis, particularly diverse in South Africa, gathers several hundred bulbous or rhizomatous species in the Oxalidaceae family. The trifoliate leaves, often light-sensitive, fold shut at night or in overcast weather. Cup-shaped, five-petalled flowers open in sunshine during autumn, winter or spring depending on the species, across a wide range of colours. As the exact species is not specified for this item, this description remains at genus level: these bulbs grow in well-drained soil in a sunny spot, with a dry rest during dormancy.
