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?
