Spring Wildflowers

The Birds-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) is starting to bloom. This perennial member of the pea family, Fabaceae, is used in agriculture as a forage plant, grown for pasture, hay, and silage.




Birds-foot trefoil is native to grassland temperate Eurasia and North Africa. It has become an invasive species in some regions of North America and Australia.
