Notes:
These plants come up each year. I like them but do not know what they are. Invasive or just nice plants? I want to get more of them to make flower beds around the oak tree.

The top pic looks like the hardy begonia.

Dig up the purple oxalis and you’ll see many small white tubers. Break these apart and replant to propagate. I have mine in a large border around one of my flower beds.
