    It's delicious too. Add some to your salads just don't go nuts or you may poop yourself.

    Yup, tastes great too!

    Just don't eat a ton... Moderate laxative.

    I just bottled my wood sorrel infused apple cider vinegar. I have it growing everywhere and I need to weed it constantly so I usually eat it. I do a few times per year to grab all of it and make it into a vinegar. Its one of my favorites vegetables / herbs

    I know plant fanciers can see things like this and be like Oooooh, beautiful. To me it's leaves. I guess that's my loss. But I thought oxalis was daisies.

    Oh wow I don't think I've ever seen this outside before (east coast US) almost always in house plants potted. And usually the purple stringy variety. Are they related??

    Really? I've got some out back that I didn't plant. As far as I know it's wild.

    East coast? Wooded? Reading about sorrels now. Might be moving to a more worded area and getting stoked.

    Northeast, they're in a partial shade spot.

    The area was previously used as a vegetable garden some years ago, so I'm not sure if they're actually wild, but I can't imagine they were planted for eating.
