If you make a walk in summer you cannot avoid meeting Bird's Foot Trefoil ( (Lotus corniculatus).
Here, besides a path between fields left fallow this year it grows abundantly.
Hundreds of flowerheads with butterfly-shaped flowers grow here.
During the day the flowers are turned upwards, but when night falls, they fold downwards. Here, early in the morning when there are still dewdrops around, they are asleep. As the fly seems to be also, it does not look that much awake.
Bird's Foot Tréfoil is very variable. There are plants with oval leaves and more or less horizontal branches, and other plants with straight leaves and vertical stems.
There are nearly always some orange flowers between the yellow ones.
