Another name for Common Bird's-foot-trefoil is 'Granny's Toenails' which can give an impression of the claw-like seed pods of this abundant and sprawling species. Other common names include 'Butter and Eggs'; 'Eggs and Bacon'; and 'Hen and Chickens' which refer to the egg-yolk yellow flowers and reddish buds. Widespread and found in all kinds of grassy places from lawns to roadside verges, this stunning little beauty is often overlooked as a weed.
