Aka pink sorrel or wood sorrel?

I think this is what is coming up everywhere in my backyard. I'm not going to pull it up or treat it as a weed simply because I Googled the plant and it's supposed to attract bees and butterflies.

Does anyone else have this? Or do you grow it for a purpose?

I have it ... I treat it as a weed to tell you the truth. I’m constantly digging it out from around the roots of other plants. Every time I blink it’s popped up somewhere else. I haven’t noticed pollinators on it ... have you?

All over my lot. I leave it alone in the yard. Pull it up if it’s in the garden.

Oh, I've been treating these as a beautiful gift from nature . I only have a few but I look forward to these every year. Thanks for letting me know the name.

They sell this plant as an ornamental. It isn't perennial up here and I've never seen it in the wild.

Never have seen any bees on it.....but I have so many other things that bees like.
