If I am right in thinking this is Oxalis pes-caprae, it is an occasional weed in Bega Valley and not one I would have thought the Council weeds guys would get particularly excited about. Were you thinking it was something else?

Thanks JackieMiles, good to know it does not go rampant here in FSC NSW. I found no other record of it here so placed the post. I know it as a significant weed in Victoria and South Australia.

Yeah, well it might do in the right circumstances but I've not seen it happen so far. Maybe it prefers a winter rainfall climate.
