Yellow wood sorrel is a small flower like windowbox sorrel. Windowbox sorrel is the pink flower that you see around alabama. Bothe Yellow wood sorrel and pink windowbox sorrel have the same common characteristics, but they have different colors, adaptation habits and differences in reproduction and fruit.
The Yellow Wood Sorrel grows in meadows and fields. These areas are mostly disturbed places. The Yellow Wood Sorrel is both perrenial and annual. Seeds grow annually and plants grow back perrenially. The yellow wood sorrel doesn't scatter and multiply as quickly as the pink windowbox sorrel. The Yellow Wood Sorrel is more woody and more densely populated than the pink windowbox sorrel. The windowbox sorrel acts as a ground cover.
Two common traits of the windowbox sorrel and the wood sorrel is that both types of blooms close in the afternnoons and the leaves fold at nights. There are other plants in the areas that work in the same manner. These plants are the Mimosa, native types of ferns that grow in the area. I think it is a common trait of a sub-tropic area. Then again, I could be wrong, that's one of my observations that I have seen over many years.
