The herbage is hairy in texture. The inflorescence is a cylindrical spike of flowers measuring 1 to 5 centimeters long. Each flower has a calyx of sepals with long, hairy, needle-like lobes that harden into bristles as the plant dries. Within each calyx is a pink corolla about a centimeter long.

Thanks Leuba. I am fascinated by clovers, there is a huge variety, we have in Spain around 60 species and some are very different. All of them beautiful
Lovely, arlanda!. Would never have thought it's a form of Clover. I would have guessed some kind of grass. Very nice.
