Don't know why this is, but the lawns around here are full of clover this summer. Not only people's patches of grass but also the wide sweeps of lawn that many parks feature are studded at the moment with millions of white clover flowers.
Clover is good for the soil, as its roots carry nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It is resistant to traffic, and when in bloom it is very pretty. Therefore seeing it in abundance does the spirit good.
Has the clover always been there, but has been mowed before it flowers? Could be that the chat about how it's good to wait to mow in order to leave flowers for bees early in the season when there are not too many things in bloom has had an effect.
Don't know, but like the trend....
