Red clover

Today was the first time I've looked closely at the red clover and it was the pretty pattern on its leaf that caught my eye. What a lovely surprise!

When I got home I googled red clover and was in for another surprise. According to WebMD:


Red clover is used for cancer prevention, indigestion, high cholesterol, whooping cough, cough, asthma, bronchitis, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Some women use red clover for symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes; for breast pain or tenderness (mastalgia); and for premenstrual syndrome (PMS).


Well I never!


Much better day today, a good one for drying the washing :-)
