I’ve always thought it was clover

 

[sheepdogtrail]

A subterranean or a Balansa clover.

Alsike clover?

 

[Princess Pooper]

White clover that is starting to go over to seed, turns a bit pink sometimes.

Clover!!!!!



(Am I right?)

 

[organicguy]

Definately white clover, but never seen it so pink, almost red! Just one patch.

With my eyes I see serrations in the leaves. It is possible that only my eyes see that. It would not be the first time. It is also possible that there is more than 1 type in those photos.

When I read the title I said to myself "it's gonna be orf" and low and behold .....

Clover!!!

But if u squint....

Serrations in leaf are slug or other beastie damage, also a non crop plant in the back ground.

Non crop? Is it an avens, or something like that?

Would it be cross pollination of red and white.....nature's GE?

I saw that and couldn't decide if it was buttercup or some type of cranesbill To be honest I wasn't sure what you were asking about and thought it may be that you meant.

[Oldmacdonald]

Thought an organicguy would know his clover!!

 

[organicguy]

I have seen the pink tinge to white clover flowers before , but this is much more red!

 

[organicguy]

Another organic oddity we have!

 

[primmiemoo]

It's that parasitic one that isn't yellow rattle .... something broom?

Broomrape? It does look like it.
If any Guardian readers are looking for inspiration for offspring names, the proper name for common broomrape is Orobanche Minor.
