TRIFOLIUM incarnatum (Crimson Clover)
Crimson clover is uncommon, but that is due solely to the species' rarity; its magnificent deep red elongated flowers could hardly go unnoticed. Crimson clover can be found growing wild throughout most of Europe. It's also grown as a fodder crop, especially in North America, to feed bees and improve soil quality. It is most commonly found in unsanitary lawn seed.
