Oxalis ortgiesii (Fish-tail Oxalis)

This Oxalis called Sleeping Boy in Sweden, have a own history. I bought a old book, think the was pressed some time on the 50-th, on a second-hand bookshop. There I found this old 'Swedish oxalis flower':, and the writer called it Oxalis ortgiesii Sleeping Boy - Fish-Tail oxalis Look at the scanned image on the bottom of the page. I became of course enforced to have this oxalis, but I had never seen or heard about it. After search for it on yahoo-oxalis-growers, I finally got answer from a Japanese man, Mr Morio. He told me that he had it, and we did a exchange. Isn´t it beautiful. Imagine what we occasionally can do finding. I´m very happy. Thousand thanks Mr Morio for sharing with me.
