I'm not suggesting we move any "yellow-flowered" Oxalis plants.  I meant to
say, "Can we move ON now!"  But not before I get the answers to my questions
on the pink-flowered mystery Oxalis, please.  I have both forms of Oxalis
corniculata in my lawn.  I tried battling them with chemicals, but ended up
doing my lawn (and health) more harm than good.  Since then, I find that if I
keep my grass healthy, it competes well with the Oxalis.  For a while there,
though, it looked as if I were going to have an Oxalis lawn!  I do like the
idea of having a diversity of species in a lawn.  My former home in Santa Rosa
had English daisies (Bellis perennis, for you purists) in the front lawn, and
I always thought they were charming.  I'd like to hear about other flowering
plants that can be grown successfully in a lawn, one that is mown quite
closely and regularly.  Any suggestions?
