Z on Jul 23, 2015We've always called it Purple clover in Iowa and Nebraska. We live in a country neighborhood and it covers the empty lots in glorious color. The bees love it too. I've tried to get them to stop mowing it down as it looks prettier when it's all in bloom than mowed down and dry looking.Helpful Reply

Connie Phillips on Jul 23, 2015This is clover. I grew up on a farm and dad would alternate giving each field a "rest" and rejuvenate the soil by allowing growing clover in it. The clover was harvested into bales of hay to feed the cows and the remnants of the plant would be turned into the soil to increase the nitrogen content. I think it is beautiful and the sweet smell it emits when harvested brings back those lazy, hazy days of summer on the farm. Thanks for the reminder!Helpful Reply

Fiona Powell on Jul 23, 2015Red Clover. Used often in pastures, as it is sweet and very beneficial to cattle and sheep. As a child, I would pull the red florets and chew the white bottom parts ....very sweet like honey. May be considered a weed by some flower gardeners, but as it does more benefit than harm to the environment, I keep it when I find it (bees love it, as well as little girls!)Helpful Reply

Jennie Herrick on Jul 23, 2015It's a clover. Some people consider it a weed, however that "weed" is very important for our wild honey bees to feed off of. They are also very pretty when mixed into a wildflower garden. I live in southern Florida now and don't see this beauty much anymore. I actually miss it.Helpful Reply
