Wood Sorrel (Oxalis spp.) Seeds
I found my first patch of wood sorrel by accident in a container one day. At first, I thought it was a weed... until I touched one of the odd little seed pods and it exploded, hitting me right in the eye! I wasn’t mad though. I spent the next 30 minutes just sitting there, popping pods like nature’s bubble wrap. Sometimes the garden finds you. Now, I share these cheerful little ground covers with other curious gardeners. With clover-like leaves, buttery yellow flowers, and seed pods that burst like fairy firecrackers, Wood Sorrel is perfect.
