Not the best picture as it is a little grainy, so I apologize!

This is my variegated cream, blush, lime, emerald green, and white wood sorrel that I found in my garlic garden. (See second picture). I have been taking care of it now for about 3-4 months and this is what I've learned.

It cannot (at this time) reproduce by seed, tried on about 6 seed pods to germinate ANYTHING even a normal wood sorrel coloring. No sprouts or germination at all. It is a micro-variety! Only stands at about 4 ish inches tall after growing for months. So freaking cute. As it has gotten older it has popped out new shoot/ leaf colors and variegation patterns!

I now have to do research on how to split by rhizome if I eventually take the leap. I am afraid to do so and I am just happy to have this lovely embodiment of freak genetics as my little friend. Just wanted to share! Thanks for looking!!

    That’s gorgeous! If that popped up at my house it would be treated like royalty.

    Absolutely amazing!!

    I follow an artist on Insta, his name is Tyler Thrasher. But he is not just an artist, he’s an alchemist and botanist too. He frequently makes his own succulents. He just made a brand new one not too long ago. He’s always answered me when I’ve had questions, so you can maybe shoot him a message and see if he would have any tips?

    If anything he’d be thrilled to see this. Very cool OP, thank you for sharing!

  3. This is truly an exceptional work of art. I thank you for sharing.

    Edit: Honesty, I wouldn’t mind images of this to hang on my walls. This plant is that beautiful in its simplicity and unusual coloring at the same time.
