A Year in the Valley

At last!  An easy one!  Was I glad to see a flower I recognised!  And a little surprised if I’m honest, as I thought clover was confined to lawns and grassy stretches.  It’s true that it isn’t a wetland flower.  It’s also true that our watermeadow has dried out considerably, even the soggy middle that we call ‘Little Venice’ is merely claggy – and the clover was on the bank, which is populated with unidentified meadow grass and wildflowers.  What I also didn’t know was that clovers are in the legumes family along with peas, vetches and the previously mentioned Birdsfoot Trefoil.
