Wood Sorrel

Rising from a carpet of rounded heart shaped trefoil leaves, masses of delicate white five petalled flowers, covered in tiny purple veins, adorn a long fallen mossy trunk deep in Huntley bank; Wood Sorrel. A beautiful little plant, common through the deciduous areas of the forest in April and May, has leafs and petals which at night fold back on themselves, returning to open during the day.
