Simple and lovable ...

Scientific name: Oxalis latifolia
The wood sorrel, garden pink sorrel, broad leaf sorrel or Mexican oxalis is a perennial herb. It has no stem, but grows via stolons. The leaves arise on long petioles from ground level, each made up of three widely heart shaped leaflets. Leaf petioles and flower pedicels arise from the rootstock. Flowers are pink, five petaled and funnel shaped. The inner funnel is fluorescent yellow green, which surrounds the beautiful set of stamens are observed. The flower is very simple and lovable ones. On this special day of my little sister's birthday i dedicate this flower to her. I took this photograph on October 3rd, 2011 during the Dussehra flower show at Mysore.
