Seen blooming in September near Hwy 84 in Abiquiu The Foxtail Clover grows to 3 feet tall in patches. The leaves are up to four inches long and divided into 15-35 oval leaflets. Tiny white or bluish pea-shaped flowers grow in dense, two-inch-long spikes which are covered in silky white hairs; the foxtail. Medicinal uses of this clover are unknown but other Daleas have been used in traditional medicine. Daleas are named in honor of English physician and botanist Samuel Dale, (1659-1739) who was born in London and never set foot in the USA, so never saw this Dalea.

AuthorI am Marilyn Phillips, a native of England, whose love of nature and the outdoors from childhood brought me by a circuitous route to Crested Butte, Colorado in 1993 and 16 years later to northern New Mexico. My exploration of the many trails in these areas, my interest in wildflowers and photography, and career in computer system design came together in this creation.
