Here is a photo of Trifolium incarnatum - Crimson Clover, Italian Clover - that was taken near the entrance to the Point Wells site in Richmond Beach.

This introduced clover, considered invasive by some authorities, is found in 43 states. It was brought into North America from Europe as cattle feed. It also can enrich the soil, fixing nitrogen.
