Distilled sunlight
At Mud Bay, yesterday afternoon:
 |
| Birdsfoot trefoil. Orange and yellow flowers on the same stalk. |
 |
| Red-tipped buds. |
 |
| The plant. A legume, trailing and semi-erect, perennial. |
 |
| Immature seed pods with strange pointy caps. Mature pods are fatter, and have dropped the cap. |
 |
| Flowers and a visitor. Small orange butterfly, unidentified. |

Cool flowers & seed pods, and lovely little skipper! =)
Ah, these bring back memories.
We call the plant "trefoil" because it has clusters of three leaves. And the butterfly is a skipper. Skippers have hooks at the end of their antennae.
Beautiful!
