Clover Identification: Which Clover is Which? 

(1) I readily recognize all 4 of the clovers that you discussed here. In Arkansas, and perhaps other parts of the southern states, the Highway Department sows Crimson Clover seeds along our Interstate Highway medians. What you're calling Red Clover is actually pink, but our Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a vibrantly dark red and quite large. It's spectacular in the spring and summer here! (2) "Chevron" is a perfect way to describe those lighter marks on the white clover leaf. On a very hot and windless summer day here in the southern U.S. you can walk across a lawn covered with White Clover and you will be absolutely envéloped in an intoxicating sweet perfume! (3) We have yet another clover here in the southern U.S., called Bush Clover, also known as Lespedeza cuneata , It is a rather tall plant that is mowed for hay in some parts of the U.S.

Your videos are always informative, thanks

Thank you so much for this info! Every year our "yard" changes drastically in what weeds are dominant. I selectively weed whip, leaving plants that butterfly and bees enjoy. This year we have majority yellow clover and although there is minimal insect intrest, i have left large patches because it is so vibrant and low growing. Now I can watch for the seeds to find out exactly what it is.

Glad I found you.

Thanks for the info. My dogs name is chance as well

The bottom flowers point downward because they are producing seed

Thank you for the info.

That was very informative. Thank you. I had to tell you that I have always had a hard time getting my horse to pass by the tall, white sweet clover. He just loved it we often instead of having fast ride we’d have a slow and munchy ride.❤️🇨🇦

If you have gas....that means you don't have enough digestive enzymes. Take 1-2 TBS or a swig of Organic Raw Applecider Vinegar. From my own experience. I just swig a bit from the bottle.

Thanks! 😃

I really appreciate this video! I have three of them in my yard. Still looking for wild red clover though. I would like some for my flower garden.

Hop clover seeds can be eaten but have to be soaked over night just like legumes need soaked. If not they can cause problems just like beans do if beans are not soaked.

Cool beans i mean greens i used to put the red clover in my corn cob pipe and smoke it , because i seen red clover in indgredients of an herbal pipe tobacco pouch. Doesnt wood sorrel look similar to clover ?

fascinating! I wonder why only 6 species are East Coast?

❤❤❤❤

I have some white clover growing in a large tub, but as they are going to seed they thrown up a series of single stalks (around 5-6 inches high) each topped with a mini flattened tight cluster of tiny leaves that looks similar to a lacecap hydrangea. Strange, is this usual or is it an obscure variety?

Nice job...I hope people who choose to eat them do by foraging rather than planting these highly invasive species. They change soil chemistry and dominate ground without supporting the full complement of our native animal species (especially folivorous species, such as moths and butterflies).

Oh black medic seeds can be eaten also but also have to be soaked.
