number 1 is a purple shamrock plant. The leaves close up at nite. The plant in pic 2 I think is a "Leaverite" plant......LEAVE IT RIGHT there and see what happens.

Also, the shamrock plant is like a ground cover, spreads through small tubers just under the soil line....they can be seperated and put in a pot for a houseplant.

Oxalis!! I have one on my windowsill. It comes in green or red and has either a pale pink bloom (usually on the red variety) or a white bloom ususally on the green variety, but I have had a red oxalis with a white flower.

The one on the right could be a leaverite plant....but it could also be a shrubby ellifiknow

It is definitely an Oxalis on the left. And I have to agree with an earlier comment on a Weigela shrub. It is difficult to see clearly, but if it is a woody plant, I would go with the Weigela. There are many varieties of the Weigela. There are some varigated and some with red flowers also.

Oxalis is a form commonly called shamrock and that is oxalis on the left.

I'm pretty sure the purple on the left is oxalis. The one on the right looks like 4 o'clock but it's a little too far away to tell.

agreed, the purple is oxalis otherwise known as shamrock, and the other is four o'clocks, my favorite plant for teaching kids about flowers, propagation and seeds.

Purple shamrock and 4 o'clocks, the 4 o'clocks' seeds look like little hand grenades and they reseed nicely.

The Oxalis comes in green also. Some varieties have white flowers, others pink blooms. Some have leaves that are two toned. The purple ones look nice next to light pink impatiens and/or Blue Daze Evolvulus. Also pretty when paired with Scabiosa, the pin cushion flower and many other flowers. The pics are from a Garden that I designed and planted.

The flowering plant is called Five o´clock - Mirabilis Jalapa. It is called that, because the flowers open as soon as the sun is down :)

I grow the Oxalis in doors as a house plant. I has gotten huge and has started growing in other pots as well. I love the way it closes up and goes to sleep at night. My granddaughter gets so excited to see that when she's over!
