"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
(Birdsfoot Trefoil, Orange - 01)
We spotted this orange birdsfoot trefoil growing
along the side of the road, on the edge of a patch of the typical yellow
flowered birdsfoot trefoil. This was the first time we had ever seen this
variety, and the literature didn't mention this color. The only reference
we found mentioned that the flowers of the birdsfoot trefoil are sometimes
tinged with red. Everything else about this wildflower appeared to be the
same as the typical yellow birdsfoot trefoil.

Since these orange birdsfoot trefoil were
growing with the yellow ones, they would share the same characteristic of
blooming from June to September. They also have the same sized and shaped
1/2 inch flowers, and the same leaf structure.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
