Trifolium pratense
Red clover, originates from regions spanning Macaronesia to Mongolia and the Himalayas, thriving predominantly in temperate biomes. This perennial herb is cherished for its versatility; it serves as animal fodder, a medicinal plant, and a significant contributor to soil enrichment through its nitrogen-fixing capabilities. Cultivated globally for forage, its rose-purple flowers not only feed livestock but are also traditionally used in folk remedies, ranging from skin conditions to menopausal symptoms, due to their isoflavone content. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
