This tiny white flower is colonising the top of an outdoor bonsai tree. As you can see, it is tiny, with very distinctive leaves which measure less than 1cm across. Can anyone identify it? I've checked both wildflower books and garden books with no luck!
It is some kind of oxalis - I have a yellow one of similar size. I don't mind it but some find it a dreadful weed - they spead by tiny bulbils in the soil and are hard to eradicate.

Oxalis acetosella, or Wood-Sorrel.

Thank you very much! I should have realised it was oxalis by the distinctive leaves!
I rather like it - it's contained, it's very delicate, and looks good under my bonsai.
