I think it's pretty, so hope it stays a good little plant in my garden.Silvia Hoefnagels .

This is an oxalis, also called wood sorrel (not sure of the species because of where you are) and part of the problem with it is the underground runners and those little bulbils; but also the flowers turn to seeds inside a springloaded pod.
