Oxalis montana

It carpets the moss of cool, damp northern hardwood and spruce-fir forests from eastern Canada south along the Appalachians. It needs deep shade, cool summers, constant moisture and a cold winter.
Where it grows wild
The mossy floor of moist, cool coniferous and mixed northern forests, often on rotting logs and along streams.
