This has been a very warm, dry Spring, and Beltane came early this year in Portland. In my garden, the red clover has taken over, and I couldn't be happier! Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a mild, slightly sweet-tasting flower that has immunoprotectant and anti-tumor properties. It's also a safe tea to give to little ones suffering from bronchial infections. You can find these blossoms nestled in my Women's Support Tea.
