What is this Clover?

I have a type of clover in my yard that I previously bought. Somehow, I've lost the name of it. It has 4 light green leaves with a dark purple spot right in the center of each one and each stem is about 4 inches long. It's alot like the "Dark Dancer" but, with less purple and more green? Thank you for your help.

Actually, here's a picture of the clover in question. Sorry about the blur.

If you remember where you purchased that clover seed, take a flower back to them. Undoubtedly they will be able to identify it and sell you some more. Good Luck !

Not clover but oxalis. Probably a Oxalis tetraphylla cultivar. What color is the flower?
