Thank you for all the efforts in letting me know how to post photos and for the identification. I suspected it was a common species being as I am sure that I got it while working in a retail nursery. It does look like Oxalis purpurea. I guess that I am lucky about it’s aggressive nature. My clump has only gotten about 4’ X 4’ in about 25 years in the ground. It is bounded by sidewalk and driveway on two sides which limits its spread to two directions. I also have it planted under an unwatered manzanita and still use old fashioned drip irrigation for other plants near it. This means the Oxalis is surrounded by pretty dry soil areas and sun a good portion of the day. All of these factors seem to contribute to keep it under pretty good control. Unfortunately my patch is a mix of white, lavender and pink. The only way to select white bulbs would be to pull them up when they are in bloom so rather difficult to share them.
