| Description : | These grow everywhere, but this time the picture came out, so I
figured I'd include it. It's sprawly and not upright like the sulpher
cinquefoil is.
A cinquefoil in the mowed area across Vassar Street from here got me
interested in the local wildflowers, after I had trouble identifying it.
Of course, the answer to "what has leaves in threes like a strawberry and
little yellow flowers?" turned out to be "a cinquefoil that got run over
by a lawnmower" but I now greet these like old friends when I see them.
