Hi
I have a wildflower now (7/1) blooming in the woods that I thought was butterfly pea, but its much smaller and is on a long vertical stalk with several other blooms. The leaf is somewhat like a shamrock.
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks, Stephanie falls
Possibly one of the Ticktrefoils? https://uswildflowers.com/wfquery.php?Genus=Desmodium
