Oxalis corniculata, the creeping woodsorrel, procumbent yellow sorrel [2] or sleeping beauty, is a somewhat delicate-appearing, low-growing herbaceous plant in the family Oxalidaceae. It is a small creeping type of woodsorrel that tends to grow well in moist climates. [ 3 ]
[5] [6] It bears heads of yellow flowers, with around 10–20 disc florets and 3–8 ray florets, the laminae of the latter around 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long. It flowers year round. [ 5 ] It is a weedy species, found in lawns and along other disturbed areas such as roadsides and paths.
Campanula rapunculoides, known by the common names creeping bellflower, rampion bellflower, rover bellflower, garden bluebell, creeping bluebell, purple bell, garden harebell, and creeping campanula, [2] is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Campanula, belonging to the family Campanulaceae.
Oxalis flowers range in colour from whites to yellow, peaches, pink, or multi-coloured flowers. [11] Some varieties have double flowers, for example the double form of O. compressus. Some varieties are grown for their foliage, such as the dark purple-leaved O. triangularis.
The flowers are golden yellow, glossy, and 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) diameter, usually with five petals, and the flower stem is finely grooved. The gloss is caused by the smooth upper surface of the petal that acts like a mirror; the gloss aids in attracting pollinating insects and thermoregulation of the flower's reproductive organs.

The flowers are bright yellow ray florets of about 8-13 per head, rays are 6–15 mm long; disk-corollas 4–5 mm long. The pappus is a crown of short fimbriate scales. The seeds are tuberculate achenes, 4–5 mm long. Propagation is mostly vegetatively as seeds are usually not fertile. [4]
