Cluster

This delicate bloom is known as Crown Vetch or Axseed. It is a summertime wildflower classified as an herb in the legume family. (The same category as peas and beans.)

These flowers seem to be popular with bees and butterflies.  In the area I found this, bees were busy working the few flowers there.

On the downside, it is a serious invader of prairies and dunes and, apparently, it’s poisonous to horses.
