Sainfoin has been grown in parts of Europe and Asia for hundreds of years. Various strains have been introduced to North America as a forage crop since about 1900. We came across this plant growing at Carburn Park on 23rd June 2009 - I think this is the only location in the city where it grows. Belongs to the Pea family and blooms June-August. It is considered a weed - but, as usual, a very beautiful weed. Image used on UBC Botany Photo of the Day website, 8 April 2013. www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/potd/2013/04/onobrychis-viciif...
