Re: Who said this? AND plant ID help

**"* P* <R*@Comcast.net>**

Kathy,

Oh yes, definitely, keyword search word changes can get totally different 
results!
Sometimes I will search 10 different combinations until I get a hit close to 
what
(I think) I'm looking for. Of course, sometimes my memory is wrong...

Speaking of an incorrect (maybe) memory...I'm trying to identify a photo of 
an
annual (in Michigan anyway) that has reddish purple leaves (3) like Clover 
or
Oxalis, but with rounded, not triangular leaves and tiny yellow flowers. Can
anyone help?

Thanks!
