Roy,

What you have is an Oxalis regnellii autropurpurea commonly known as Purple Shamrock. It likes to moist soil, cool air and bright indirect light if kept indoors and can tolerate a shady type atmosphere outside. I’ve answered another questions similar to this one. If you want to read it go to “One Man’s Weed Is Another Man Lucky Shamrock“.
