I take this to be, wood Sorrel, so good to eat, and the flower of who knows what. A good mix

Wood Sorrel looks like a clover in the leaves, but it is not. This pretty little blossom is indeed it's own.

Thanks Sonja, the correction stands. Here. we have the wood sorrel,
Oxalis violacea, they have smaller but lovely pink blossoms, and they are very good in fresh salads. ( I would guess all the Oxalis are ) Your picture is lovely.

Perhaps I should have said European Wood Sorrel, but that is not the common name usually given. Instead even american based websites say Violet Wood-sorrel when it comes to Oxalis violacea.
