A delicate trio of tiny blooms from a weed in my rock garden. This oxalis is one of 30 known species in the US, all considered invasive. The plant is native to tropical Americas, and usually is yellow and sometimes deep red, known as woodsorrell or wood sorrel. The leaves of this plant are always shamrocks, this plant has gigantic leaves that are each up to 2 1/2" across on each green leaf. The blooms are about 1" diameter. When I earlier got a photo in macro of just one pink bloom, the two tiny buds hanging below developed and then the thin stalk could not support all three. The image reminds me of Willie Nelson's song "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground".
A pretty picture can brighten the soul.
