Plants with 4 leaves?

Planted loads of bulbs a few weeks ago. Don't know if it's due to excess rain but have lots of patches of these plants around my garden now. Anyone know why?

That looks like oxalis (iron cross). They are bulbs. Very pretty leaves 😍

Yep, Oxalis iron cross, relative of the shamrock, one of my favourite plants. Lucky you!

Thanks so much.

Bought a large bag of flowering bulbs so now trying to identify them all. Thought these looked a bit unusual!
