Hola Daniela, no son muy comunes pero también se les ve en verano especialmente durante la epoca de lluvias aunque aquí no llueve mucho. Tu spotting y el mio parece que son iguales. Saludos.

Hola Luis- ¿Son comunes estas flores ahí en San Luis? Aquí en mi provincia crecen mucho sobre todo en verano, se las considera nativas. Yo también llegué hasta Oxalis sp. no pude encontrar más. :-)

Luis, are you sure the flowers went with the grassy leaves? The flowers look a lot like a variety of Oxalis flowers. Oxalis grow from little tubers, and depending on the variety have leaves that resemble a three leaf clover or shamrock. Every now and then you have the flowers showing up before the leaves.
