White clover inflorescence C017 / 7173
White clover (Trifolium repens) inflorescence, seen from above. This plant forms a globose (spherical) flower head (umbel) that consists of 20 to 100 white or pinkish florets. This plant has a symbiotic partnership with bacteria in nodules on its roots that convert nitrogen in the air to soluble nitrates in the ground. Photographed in June, in Dorset, UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of a white clover inflorescence, taken from an aerial perspective. The Trifolium repens, commonly known as white clover, forms a spherical flower head consisting of 20 to 100 exquisite white or pinkish florets. This particular plant is found in Dorset, United Kingdom and was photographed during the vibrant month of June. What makes this plant even more fascinating is its symbiotic partnership with bacteria residing in nodules on its roots. These bacteria have the remarkable ability to convert nitrogen present in the air into soluble nitrates within the ground. This process enriches the soil and provides essential nutrients for other plants nearby. The image captures not only the intricate details of each individual floret but also highlights how these flowers come together to form a stunning umbel shape. As a perennial botanical species belonging to the legume family (Leguminosae), white clover holds significant ecological importance by attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. With its presence adding charm to meadows and fields across Europe, including England where it is native, this single pea-like flower represents both biological diversity and summer's arrival. Through this photograph by Colin Varndell from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of nature's wonders that often go unnoticed but play vital roles in our ecosystem.
