Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis)

Have you seen a blurr of yellow as you drive in the country? Pull over and visit these 3-6' tall flowers along the roadside. They are a member of the Pea family. Bloom time May thru October. The fermented plants produce dicoumaral, the chemical found in rat poison.
