Plant Name Unknown
I need help in identifying a plant given to me by an elderly lady who said the plant was her great grandmothers. The plant is delicate with crimson clover-like leaves and small light pink flowers in clusters of seven to the stem. When removed from the light the leaves close downward. She called the plant a "clover plant" but I have been unable to find a reference to it.
Thanks...Bob

Re: Plant Name Unknown
Appears to be Oxalis triangularis subsp. papilionacea (syn. O. regnellii), Purple Shamrock.
