More Flower Resources Pictures of Flowers Crimson Clover Edible Flowers

Big-head Clover (Trifolium macrocephalum) grow in open areas of the Pacific Northwest, east of the Cascades.

The flower head can measure about two inches in diameter, making it difficult to misidentify.

Clover is known for its edibility and farmers and ranchers often graze their herds in clover fields. The Big-head clover is likewise edible and was consumed both raw and cooked by Native Americans.
