Don't know, sure is attractive though. Is that a four leaf clover it is growing near it?
Well whatever you do make sure that you don't eat it!  |

The clover looks to be wood sorrel and you CAN eat that.
The mushroom I would not eat

Nope! 
DC, I won't eat any of them. Can you imagine, on New Year's Eve serving clover soup or salad? I could add some Stanhopea leaves for a more exotic menu. hehe

"Wood sorrel" is a notorious nursery weed! Yes, you can eat it. It would fall under the category of "bitter greens." But, I can remember Busch's picking Red Sorrel out of the lawn for salad. Now it's gourmet...

I agree with the 'Don't eat it' crowd. I do know that if you let it mature it will drop spores and you will have more growing. Whether that's a good thing or not is your call.

HAHAHA, i LOVE the idea of a snooty café that has orchid salads
wood sorrel is a nice, bright lemony flavor and i use it on salads with a light salty dressing
butterfly sorrel (red sorrel) is a bit more lemony and has a really great pop when you put a pile on top of a grilled fish (small mangrove snapper, scored on the sides with a lot of pepper and sale then cooked HOT)

until you have to pull all of them out of your garden and lawn. Then they take on a new significance, not necessarily pleasant. |

Indeed! I had a hard time trying to take them out of the basket where the Stan was. It seems I was not 100% successful in removing them.
