Hi JoyceAnn. what is the difference between the violet wood sorrel and regular clover - other than the blooms. I think there is some growing in a recently cleared part of the yard and it looks like sorrel.
Hi Annette , Sorrel does have different type blooms , we have at least 3 different types growing here. But check-out the leaves , each leaf petal has a heart shape , clovers are round. Clover leaves are usually a darker green too.
I wonder if a plant that is low growing and yellow flowers with the upside down heart shaped leaves is a realitive to the sorrel that I see growing around here in a field.
PS. I found a recipe for Dandilion Fritters. I think I you posted this site in the past. The one with the Herb Game, or I found it through a blog you posted.
If you want to check it out click on Jessie's Front Porch Party Link. There is a link to it on my blog there.
Hi Flassie , We have a Yellow Wood-Sorrel , it has heart shaped leaves also. The leaves have a sour taste , they can be used in salads or used to make a drink like lemonade. I will try to find some to photograph. My field guide states to use in moderation , excessive consumption may inhibit calcium absorption.
Oh, Ok! I should take a photo too. I hope they haven't mowed it.
The leaves sit to the sides and the heart shaped leaves are upside-down.
The other sorrel I have tasted has larger leaves.
Creative Kismet is having a art print giveaway, just encase you want to get in on it. I put up a link. She has tutorials on her site also. You have till midnight tonight to get in on it.
I took a pic late before dark. The blooms were closed up and the leaves were not laying to the sides. Weird. I will go back and hope they haven't mowed yet to get a pick of the blooms and see how the leaves lay during the day.

Ah, ok; then what we have is clover. I will keep the heart shaped leaves in mind - thank you! =)
I wonder if a plant that is low
growing and yellow flowers with
the upside down heart shaped
leaves is a realitive to the
sorrel that I see growing around
here in a field.
Looking forward to blackberries.
God Bless You and Yours!!!

Thanks Flassie , for the link to the giveaway. Her art is wonderful , I love them all but choose " Resolve " as my favorite.
I haven't had a chance to find yellow sorrel yet and it's raining today.
