Birdsfoot Trefoil

This Trefoil has long seeds - pods that resemble a birds foot, hence the common name. In some places they are known as Granny's Toe - nails for the same reason. For such a bright and sunny little flower it is one of the few flowers to have a negative meaning in the "Language of Flowers". Where some flowers are known for love, honesty, or purity..... this flower is revenge and retribution.

Where I found it: on the side of the road
