Caye, Claire, and Sasha on Kew’s canopy-top walkway. The elevator to this does not function, but it’s worth it.
Nevertheless, Kew does have the coolest alpine house that I’ve ever seen, with some handsome African bulbs on display.
This is Kew’s description of Oxalis. I perceive it to be coming from a fairly limited perspective. It’s a little south Africa-centric, and the bulb-bearing invasives are of more concern than the weedy species…in my opinion. Plus, South American Oxalis are far more diverse in life-form, habitat, relevance to humans, etc. Check this out:
