Red Clover
(Trifolium pratense L.)
|
A
dozen or more different clovers grow in the meadows. Some are
introduced and cultivated for hay. One of the best-known of our
native forms is the common red clover. Its large oval leaflets
are green with a light crescent-shaped band. Its small pinkish-purple
flowers are grouped in conspicuous heads which are at first round,
later becoming oval. It has a long flowering period - from May
to September or October.
