Description
21st Century Floral macro Art photograph of a wild violet wood sorrel (genus oxalis of the wood sorrel family Asemeia monninoides). Photograph made in Houston Texas where this flower grows like weeds. The size of the flower is about that of a quarter dollar, and before the plant blossoms it is often confused with the desirable white clover. As a child I called this a three leaf clover. The common wood sorrel is sometimes referred to as a shamrock and given as a gift on St. Patrick's Day.
The plant has trifoliate compound leaves, the leaflets heart-shaped and folded through the middle, that occur in groups of three on petioles up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long. It flowers from spring to midsummer with small white chasmogamous flowers with pink streaks. Red or violet flowers also occur rarely. During the night or when it rains the flowers close and the leaves fold.
Photograph made with a Nikon D810 Camera and Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8 macro lens.
