Lotus Corniculatus-Yellow Birdsfoot Trefoil
Little yellow Birdsfoot Trefoil sprinkled with dew and blooming in abundance along our Iroquois County illinois roadsides. They look like little mounds of gold. They are members of the Pea family. The flowers are about 1/2 inch with 3 ovate clover-like leaves. They bloom from June to September in fields and roadsides. Derives its name from the pod it sets which is reminiscent of a bird’s foot. Taken with a Nikon D60, Tamron 24-75 lens f2.8

Thank you Geir! They are Birdsfoot Trefoils. They actually grow abundantly in clusters but this little lady was all by herself.
