Description
Trifolium pretenseAlso known as - Cow Clover, Meadow Clover, Purple Clover, Trefoil, Wild Clover, and Bee Bread.
Red clover is also considered a good herbal remedy for several medical conditions, such as menopause (by reducing hot flashes) and increasing blood flow through arteries and veins.
The flowers and leaves are entirely edible and can even be eaten in a salad. It can also make a pleasant, sweet tea.
EDIT: Thanks for looking and all the favoring! I truly appreciate it!

I love macro, it's so much fun and I guess I like the challenge. Though there's a few ways you can get that close: a macro lens or a macro reverse ring. The lens can be quite expensive though.. I opted for the ring in the mean time as you can simply attach it to a standard lens. If you were curious, you can find the ring on amazon.com for like $8. ^^

I know about macro photography, it's one of my most favorite things about it....but I was just wondering how you got that close because I cannot get that close with my camera's macro setting, but then again, I have only a little simple digital camera, not a Canon with interchangeable lenses.......Thanks for your reply

Oh I see, sorry. xD; Well, the ring is how I do it. :3 I actually didn't know point and shoot cameras had a macro setting till recently. You wouldn't think it would have that option since most people with those types of cameras get them for, well, simply to take memorable pictures.
