Bird's-foot Trefoil

07 Mar 2009 177
One of my favourite wildflowers - Bird's-foot Trefoil - and yes, I know, I seem to have lots of favourite flowers, LOL. This member of the Pea family only occurs in a very few places in this city - I think I have seen it in just three locations. Love the brilliant yellow with faint red lines, and the way the flowers tend to form a ring or a partial ring. This one was growing at Bowmont Park. Unfortunately, it is an introduced (non-native) plant from Eurasia.

One of my favourite wildflowers, Bird's-foot Trefoil, seen against a brightly coloured bokeh of a whole patch of this plant. Seen only in a few locations in the city, so I always get excited when we do see it , even though it is a non-native plant, introduced from Eurasia. Needed a bright splash of colour yet AGAIN today : ) Temperature is -22C (even colder with windchill), but the sun is shining.
