Wood sorrel.
 
  Wood sorrel Jänesekapsas  Oxalis acetosella    

Now wood sorrel flowers can seen in forests. In summer we step on its leaves many times, forgetting the colour of the flowers. Now, seen from far away you might believe that the ground under the trees is still covered with wood anemones but it is really white with wood sorrel flowers. And take note: this plant has no above-ground stem. Surely you have munched on wood sorrel, and maybe even thought that its leaf stalk is the stem of the plant. But the proper stem is actually hidden in the soil.
