What is it?

11 comments


I found this plant wilting away in a charity shop and have nursed it to recovery. Not being an expert and despite exhaustive searches i have been unable to identify it. It flowers June/July and has just begun to flower again for a second time this year. The flower has five petals. Can any kind soul out there help?
Thanks,
Tim

It is an Oxalis of some sort. Google Oxalis Regnellii see if you find anything that resemble your plant.
