Nature's fireworks

A Red Clover bloom from Otto, NC

In identifying this flower, I came across this information, so I thought I would share: Red clover is a wild edible plant belonging to the legume family that is commonly used as food for cattle. This common edible plant has a long and colorful history. Traditional Chinese medicine believed that it was a good tonic for colds, to purify the blood, and at one time they burned it as incense. Native Americans used it as a salve for burns, as well as for bronchial problems. Many cultures have traditionally used red clover to treat whooping cough, respiratory problems, psoriasis, eczema and even cancer. Red clover is one of the herbs in Essiac, and grows in many areas around the world.
