I think it's pretty cool. It reminds me of a clover and seems to have yellow flowers. It's a weed I found growing at the farm in a flowerbed. Any ideas?

I have always called them cloves, although im not sure that is what they really are. The leaves are edible. I always just chew on them. They have a slightly sour taste. Im sure they could also be used as a seasoning, but i haven't tried that.

Greene- I think it might be a lesser yellow trefoil might be it! Thank you!

Kurasz- I remember as a kid I would eat clovers with my cousins in their garden... maybe it was these instead! (Or both?)

No, it's not the same. There are similarities.

I agree It could be Medicago luulina. Here is the link to the plant in our database so you can compare to your plant.
