Red clover (Trifolium pratense): State Flower of Vermont
Symbolism: Protection, Luck

Ever seen her? She’s a pink pillow of petals growing low to the ground, poking her head amongst wild grasses. This nitrogen-fixing beauty nourishes pastures and bribes many bees to make honey.

When in Ireland, Celtic tradition suggests she wards off evil spirits, bringing protection and good fortune.

Medicinally, Red Clover purifies the blood and is an ally for women’s health, especially during menopause, for she mimics estrogen and balances hormones.

In traditional harvesting, the Red Clover is enjoyed in many fashions. You can eat the flower when it’s young, adding blush pink to salads or sides. Young leaves can be prepared similarly to spinach. You can even use the dried seed pods as a substitute for flour!
