Plant of the Day

Wednesday 27 November 2024

This small group of purple-pink foliage might be a cultivar of Oxalis corniculata var. atropurpurea (bronze leaved yellow sorrel, procumbent yellow sorrel). This low-growing plant can be invasive more due to self-seeding than its creeping habit, but it can be useful growing between paving.

Hi moon! What are your thoughts on the plant Oxalis palmifrons? I think it looks rather lovely

[ The pattern looks lovely indeed ]

23/03 Creeping woodsorrel in the dome. Pretty much every greenhouse has it. We thought we'd been lucky so far - we received a plant with a woodsorrel stowaway and immediately fed the woodsorrel to the chickens, but alas, here it is, springing up from the ground itself.

Reasons every greenhouse gets creeping woodsorrel eventually, and can't eliminate it:

Batteries: If you leave any tiny root splinter in the ground, it holds enough energy to regrow the whole plant. (An unknown species of woodsorrel was domesticated into the root crop oca, granting that energy to humans. I'm sure this is fine).

Detonators: The seed pods build up water pressure in their tissues and actually explode, ejecting seeds in ballistic arcs around your greenhouse. So it sprouts very far away from wherever you last saw it.

Wires: creeping woodsorrel accumulates copper in its stems, which run for long distances along the ground and sprout roots wherever they touch down. Historically, picking woodsorrel and grinding it up has been a practical way to locate underground copper deposits.

I don't know what kind of Ineffable Device the creeping woodsorrel infesting every greenhouse in the world is intent on forming, but our dome is part of it now.

Oxalis sp.

We received this Oxalis without a name, but it is summer-dormant, and we suspect it is one of the many species native to the winter-rainfall region in western South Africa. Its tufts of leaves with hairy tips give it a unique texture, providing a nice foil for the bright yellow flowers.
