Red Clover

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense):

 

The red clover has become naturalized in North America, and is commonly used when making sweet teas. The flower grows very close to the ground and normally grows in a trifoliate pattern (three leaflets), and flowers with a beautiful purple color. Some people believe that the appearance of a four leaf clover is able to bring good luck to the one who picks it out of the ground.
