I spotted this Wood Sorrel today growing on a shady bank under some mature trees. On warm sunny days the dainty white flowers open up to show the stamens inside a white star-shape with a yellow centre, similar in appearance to the Wood Anemone. The petals have beautiful delicate veins, visible when the flowers open. The wood sorrel is easily identified by the shamrock-like leaves,. Some people eat the leaves in salads, but I didn’t find them very tasty!
