Thanks again for your help on this. Chris I have taken a few additional photos and would love your thoughts on whether you still think it might be the Oxalis.

Oxalis are also know as wood sorrel and a few are called shamrocks. For some this is a desirable plant for others it is a noxious weed. What you are calling flower petals are actually leaves and later it will get very small white blooms. Oxalis likes a shady condition that is moist but well drained. If you have other pictures I would like to see them. Sometimes a singular picture angle can skew the identification. Chirs,
