Red Clover (Trifolium pratense): Images

July 20, 2009 Southeastern, New Hampshire Much bigger leaves than the typical, tiny 3-leaf clover. Has a white or pale arrow head-like symbol on the leaves. My guidebook calls this symbol a “chevron”. It is found in fields or roadsides. Notice the big purple flower.

I infused a handful rinsed and fresh red clover flowers in a pint of very hot water for about 10 minutes. Then added honey to taste to make a healing tea.

June 13, 2010 Southeastern, New Hampshire Found a large amount of Oxeye Daisy blossoms and Red Clover blossoms (1-1/2 gallons by volume of each) for wine. (See June 13, 2010 foraging experiences entry.). There were two areas with large amounts of each of these plants. In fact, there is plenty more for salads (Oxeye Daisy leaves) and for tinctures and tea (Red Clover blossomes).
