Birdsfoot Trefoil in Regina's Wascana Park

Yesterday, when we were walking in Regina's Wascana Park, I noticed bright yellow flowers growing beside the path.

A member of the pea family, Birdsfoot Trefoil is an introduced species that has adapted well to Prairie life.

This coarsely leaved, dense and colourful plant spreads in fields and roadsides — and parks.
