Sweet, sweet clover.

Ubiqitous, usually three-leafed (but keep an eye out for that special four-leaf clover!) and easily found, clover comes in many varieties, but the type pictured is perhaps the most common one found on the farm (although there's also red clover, with a slightly larger flower that is purplish-red in color).

Wendell Berry has this to say about clover...

In the dark of the moon, in flying
snow, in the dead of winter,
war spreading, families dying, the
world in danger,

I walk the rocky hillside, sowing
clover.
