Jacques, I would say Oxalis (petite-oseille in french) ;)
I still think it's "trèfle" in french. The petite-oseille has different leaves  ;D

From a vegetalized wall, quai Branly, Paris. Fresh from today's crop. Some kind of mahonia in the foreground.

I think Snails belong to the urban nature?

Ajuga reptans 'Rubra' is the proper Latin name have no idea what it may be in French.

Superb shot John. Sharp like razors!

Fons - love the colors in your last shot. That's quite shallow DOF. Nice contrast as well.

Thanks Anirban (sorry for the late reply)

Another example of some Urban Nature or is it agriculture?

Should still qualify as urban nature.

Great composition!

Lovely shot John. I really like how extremely the background contrasts with what you would expect to see when focusing on the main subject. These grains really took a wrong turn :)

Thanks Buddy. Shot it at @17 to get the surroundings.

Only 60 years ago it were all agricultural fields, the grain seeds must have survived somehow   ;)  And close nearby there was a windmill.
