Yes, after looking it up it does look like a purple Oxalis. We found it on sandy mixed soil by the edge of a pine forest. Thank you!

It is likely an Oxalis, it could be one of the purple cultivars, or a plant that is having difficulty absorbing phosphorous. This is why taking photos of plants where you find them is beneficial. What was the soil like, what else was growing nearby, and did any other plants show signs of stress?
