White Sweet Clover

I have, a time or two in this blog, mentioned a white flower I was trying to identify. After sitting down today for the second time and really examining Peterson's Field guide to Wildflowers of the Northeastern and North-central America, I found a drawing which led me to surf the web which ultimately resulted in an identification: White Sweet Clover (Melitotus alba).

It looks so graceful and delicate, swaying in the breeze, more so than these pictures can portray. And I have even seen one Yellow Sweet Clover plant (Melitotus officinalis), but only one so far.

Now you know what it's called, too. I would have included one of my own pictures but they were terrible.

(I think it's interesting when I go to check the web for pictures to verify or illustrate my sightings, how many links I find from places all over the country. These invasive plants/weeds/wildflowers have traveled quite far in some instances and are not just to be enjoyed/done battle with here in Upstate New York.)
