I wrote a short bit last week about a common weed in gardens and lawns called Black Medic (Medicago lupulina). I received a few emails asking why the common name distinguishes the weed as ‘black’ when nothing about the photos that I posted appeared that color. Well, here it is in seed.
Black medic goes to seed with a seed cluster that resembles a blackberry. Each yellow flower gives way to a seed head that will help this plant to spread far and wide in future years.
