Medicago sativa
Llega a alcanzar una altura de 1 metro, desarrollando densas agrupaciones de pequeñas flores púrpuras. Sus raíces suelen ser muy profundas, pudiendo medir hasta 4,5 metros. De esta manera, la planta es especialmente resistente a la sequía. Es una especie con autotoxicidad, por lo que es difícil para su semilla crecer en estándes existentes de alfalfa. Así, se recomienda que los alfalfares sean rotados con otras especies (por ejemplo, maíz, trigo) antes de resembrar.
Antiguo cauce río Turia, Valencia.

OK...Here's my guess....Baptisia (False or Wild Indigo)??
Alfalfa? What's the prize?
Well.....I searched for over an hour....no luck on my end....apparently, I am not alone in the "quest"....will keep looking! It's a beautiful flower & I am quite anxious to see what the final result is!! :)
Nor is Polemonium. We'll keep looking. Come on, comrades of Noah, I'll give a prize of 3 favorites!!!
When I first saw this, I thought polemonium, but I'm not so sure now. It kinda looks like mine, but it kinda doesn't too.
Thanks Ashish, but she is not aichhornia. The flowers are similar, but the leaves are different.
Best regards.
