Hi Bill,
My guess is you are looking at the Birdfoot Trefoil along side the roads
now. European import found along roadsides and pastures. I have seen it in
catalogs on occasion. Another similar plant that is in bloom around the same
time is the Pencil Flower or Stylosanthes biflora. This one is usually found
in dry woodlands.
