Another mystery plant

Fishy65Fishy65 Posts: 2,276

Does anyone know what this is? Its growing in the boggy area by the pond and don't have a clue how it got there. At first I thought it was clover but the leaves look wrong and it seems to have a scrambling habit image

    It looks like one of the giant Clovers. Trifolium macrocephalum

    I think its a type of red clover Trifolium pratense

    So definitely a clover then. I think it was the shape of the leaf that threw me. I think I'll leave it to carry on image Thanks guys
