Trifolium arvense (rabbit-foot clover). The flower head is as furry as a rabbit's foot. It is frequently found in dry open sites, where it is especially showy in masses. The flowers make an interesting dried bouquet.

T. pratense (red clover). Introduced from Europe and extensively planted here as a hay and pasture crop, this is one of our most common perennial clovers. It stores nitrogen in its root nodules and is used in crop rotation to improve soil fertility.

T. repens (white clover). This introduced perennial is common in lawns, where one may sometimes find a "4-leaf" clover.
