This oxalis is looking very sad, as you can see. All the leaves look like the ones shown in this photo.
On the back of the leaves is some yellow.....something, which I'll show in the next photo.
Thanks for looking!

How are you!?
It's called our Southern weather. They turn like that when night time temps start sustaining 60 & 70 humid temps. Mine does it every year. I just place it on a shelf outside, and it will be mostly dormant until spring again..then big beautiful and purple..repeat

Oh! Bummer. I was certain it was some disease or mould or something. It's been a little droopy in past summers, but this seemed an extreme reaction. :)
Thanks, Rj!
It's rust. Mine get it every year. I wish I knew what the alternate host is, or if it has one.
everytime they are going dormant they pick up the rust and pretty much go completely dormant until it cools back down.
