Weed/Wildflower Wednesday

Another growth season brings me back to my love of wildflowers and weeds

I think I'll start with _Oxalis stricta_, with common names like "common yellow woodsorrel" and "sourgrass" is common on awns at this time of year. It has three leaflets so it might look like a clover, but isn't related at all. It is an edible plant, good to sprinkle on a salad, adding a nice tart (sour like vinegar) flavor. Don't use too much, though. Oxalic acid, which gives the sour taste inhibits calcium absorption.
