Help ID a wildflower?

[MaryMary]

I found these growing along the side of the road yesterday. (I got to be the passenger in the car, and look out the window! ) I don't remember ever seeing these before. By the time I saw the third little patch of them, I said to my friend, "Stop. No, wait, turn around and find somewhere to pull over!!"

They only seemed to grow on the road where I found them. I kept looking, and didn't see them anywhere else.

I don't know if you can see them, but the stems have tiny white hairs on them.

Thanks in advance!

One of the Clovers. There are a few species which differ in height and flower colour, so not easy always to distinguish.

I've heard of it, and never seen it, not even a picture.
I see it now, in the leaves and flower.

Crimson clover.

Thank you, @Owdboggy.




And now I can't get it out of my head.

You got it, Crimson Clover.
Not a native wildflower, but an invasive weed.
