Oxalis Corniculata (Creeping Woodsorrel) 酢漿草(カタバミ)

These are oxalis corniculata or more commonly known as creeping woodsorrel. It's been long since I last enjoyed such colorful flowers (other than wintersweet!). I stopped to look at these tubular lemon yellow flowers closely.

酢漿草(カタバミ)です。最近鮮やかな色の花を見る機会がない(蝋梅以外)ので立ち止まって見入ってしまいました。

早朝だったのでほとんどまだしぼんでいました。私は朝型なので寝坊助ちゃんの花を見るといつも我が家の寝坊助夫を思い出します😊。
