While on a walk, I couldn't help but notice this out-of-place plant:

With the triangularly shaped two-tone purple leaves it wasn't hard to identify. This guy is almost certainly an Oxalis triangularis. While exotic to me, this is a common ornamental plant. It supposedly does well both in your garden and as a house plant. They have a reputation for being low maintenance.
The plant is edible, though not in large quantities. It's also a bit of a movie star, making for impressive time-lapses due to its photonastic behavior.
He's a fun one!
Here's a couple more pictures from our walk, which took us along Holmes Run for a mile or so.
