Oxalis triangularis
Found on a garden along the National Highway in Bantay, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. The wind was blowing hard that the purple leaves of the plant are 'closed'.

Thanks Lani.
This is oxalis triangularis. I think the leaves close in the afternoon. They look like butterflies when they're open in the morning.
