Any thoughts on this? It was given to me as oxalis bulbs, but is clearly something else. Google was not helpful nor was this ap. Thanks.

Yeah this doesn’t look like oxalis or any bulb plant. It appears to be volunteer seedlings (likely from soil or compost), not something grown from bulbs. Once true leaves develop more or it flowers, ID will be much easier.

I dug one up to verify, definatly shoots from the bulbs I planted. This is the extent of the leaves. They are short lived, die off in a week or so, then more sprout the same way.
