Does anyone know what this brown clover like weed is? It is growing in all of my pots and the more I get rid of it the more it comes back! Any help would be grateful
Thank you
Yvonne

How odd! It's showing on my screen! Maybe my settings are wrong! No idea what to do now!

I've tried to load it again. Hopefully it's now showing !
It's an Oxalis of some kind, pretty but can become quite invasive
If it looks like the one at the bottom of this page (not the top photo), it's creeping wood sorrel (oxalis corniculata), a real nuisance:

You need to get the complete root out when pulling it (easier said than done!)
Thank you mat & bob....great advice

Yes, here's some info re oxalis - it can be a pest - scroll down and you'll see the one you've got https://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/profile.aspx?pid=498
Try to get rid of it - you'll never succeed totally, but keep trying like the rest of us
Good luck!
