Description
Oxalis, or wood sorrel, is a genus of flowering plants in the Oxalidaceae family. It is characterized by trifoliate (three-lobed) leaves, which resemble those of clover, and brightly colored flowers that bloom seasonally. Native to various regions around the world, Oxalis thrives in a variety of conditions, from woodlands to sunny gardens, and even indoors as a potted plant. The plant’s leaves fold up at night or during cloudy weather, adding an extra layer of charm. While ornamental, some Oxalis species have edible leaves with a slightly sour taste due to oxalic acid, making them a refreshing addition to salads. However, care should be taken when consuming in large quantities.
