Tomcat Clover: The 101st Flower of Spring & Summer!

My, oh my, are there a lot of different clover species out there! In fact, there are over 300, and I've found at least 5 types on our property. What's difficult is figuring out exactly which species each one is, but I'm pretty sure this is a Tomcat! :)

This species grows in the western United States grows in all types of environments, from wet to desert-conditions. Unlike a number of other species that grow in this area, this species is not cultivated for livestock fodder, probably because the flowers are so small.
