Trifolium Arvense, Haresfoot Clover


Day 262: Little Haresfoot Clover (Trifolium arvense) is a European invader. You might want to think of it as the Luxembourgian Armada since it really poses very little threat in terms of effecting a successful coup d'etat. It forms its ranks in disturbed ground, i.e., alongside roads and man-made trails, and spends more time in strategic conferences than it does in actual maneuvers. Its armies are not Napoleon's, but rather those of some ineffectual duke with an ample coffer and a longing for the toy soldiers of his youth.
