  1. It is a shamrock.  I have had one for a few months in my garden and it looks like that if it gets too much direct sunlight in the afternoon.  It comes back each morning, though - and it blooms pink flowers.


  2. Oxalis.

  3. Oxalis regnellii atropurpurea -( AKA; Purple Shamrock)

    Oxalidaceae

    I think your plant qualifies for some care  

    Problems and Solutions

    If the oxalis plant is tall and lanky, it needs more light or may also occur if the conditions in the home are too warm.   If your plant is not blooming, it probably needs a good rest. Cut back on watering and fertilizing and let it go dormant. In two or three months, the plant will begin to grow again and should flower if it receives good care. A yellowing plant may be a sign you are watering it too much. Too little water and your plant will wilt. Shamrock plants are usually not bothered by insect pest, but are susceptible to root rot if kept too wet.
