Oxalis stricta
In the garden. Pretty sure it's native, grows on its own. I don't get rid of them. It's my dad's garden and he don't seem to mind them.

Yes, that's it! :) Thanks a bunch, Jess.
You're right; I think it still may be a wood sorrel, maybe the yellow. Here is a USDA profile; I know the Oxalis are a common genus of weeds throughout the Eastern Seaboard

According to the site you shared, they're a bit too far north for me. But it's a good guess. Thanks :)
I think it may be a common weed throughout the US, common wood sorrel. The latin name is Oxalis stricta, although its tricky to tell without the flower

Thanks, Alice :)
Cool picture.
So are the stems. :)
The flowers are edible and delicious!
