It's been raining so much recently that I haven't been able to find a dry moment to mow the lawn, but that lawn has been growing fast. And with it, all the weeds that usually stay close cropped and never get to flower properly are doing their thing. I took some photos, getting down on my hands and knees with a macro lens and here's the first for you: White clover.

Did you know that it's edible in a number of ways and is actually part of the pea family? Furthermore it is sometimes deliberately included in lawn-seed mixes because it can green over even in tough conditions. Suddenly I'm thinking it's not a weed at all.
