Beautiful series. I'm fairly certain #3 is Oxalis. The leaves shown are not Oxalis but must be on another plant.

I dug a bit more into this and while I am by no means a flower-savvy person, I think you are right, this is an Oxalis flower - sure is part of a huge family. I have relabeled the post and will update my albums in due course. Thanks so much for your help. Joe

Oxalis is a flower that is special to me. I have photographed it several times and it always results in beautiful shots.

And when digging for the info, I noticed that it is edible to boot!

Beautiful flowers, but my favorite is the bike rack.
Thank you Salo for looking in. Yeah, when at the end of this smorgasboard of floral colors I happened upon that bike rack, I just had to picture it.
