Hi, sorry for the horrible photo. And for the bad condition of the plant. Wondering what this guy is. Looks like some form of clover. Meadow plant. Redish and white petals, seed forms inside, kinda like a small lentil.

Thanks,
William

It looks like Smart Weed. There are many different types including a swamp variety. They are mainly annuals I believe.

We cannot change the waves of expansion and contraction, as their scale is beyond human control, but we can learn to surf. Nicole Foss @ The Automatic Earth

That's it. Can't tell if it's this one
http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Polygonum+coccineum

or this one
http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Polygonum+pensylvanicum

Didn't find it near water, so I'm leaning toward Pensylvanicum, even if I'm very far from Pennsylvania...
And it looks like the one I have (if it's the latter) is not very useful unless someone I know has hemorrhoids...and that's not the case.

Being an indicator species of wetness would work, because it popped up right after the only rains of the year.

I don't get it. A whale wearing overalls? How does that even work? It's like a tiny ad wearing overalls.
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
