ArtistHighly detailed salt infused watercolour oil pastel ink painting of a 15th century king dressed in highly embroidered gilded clothing, lying on his back in a field of clover, holding a four leaf clover, ecstatic happy grin on his face, laughing, early morning mist, dew, soft diffused summer light, Arthur Rackham, Edward Robert Hughs, Monet, Masefield Parrish, James Holland Started from image:
A wee bit about clover to spark interest, if you will:
230 specias of annuals, biennials, and perennials, Agricultural cultivars, developed by medieval times. Trifolium is high in protein.
One of the most important survival foods, being widely known, unmistakeable and common.
Used in baked goods, tea (vine dry) , soups, stews. Flowers also nibbled raw or used as a salad ingredient, also leaves, sweeter than most cooked greens.. Apparently difficult to digest, so should be eaten in small quantities.
Sweet, cooling – relaxes spasms. Healing to fresh wounds as well as old ulcers.
Pick flower heads with upper leaves in summer as they open and dry for infusions, liquid extracts, ointments, and tinctures.
So much more...
