Bird’s-foot Trefoil has over seventy names in Britain alone, including ‘Eggs and Bacon’, which references the bright, sunshine yellow petals, which are tinged with a deep red as the flower ages. Other names that describe the distinctive seed pods include ‘Granny’s Toenails’ and ‘Tom Thumb’, a godchild of the Queen of the fairies, who was a restless goblin with dry, black fingers ending in a claw. Bird’s-foot Trefoil is strongly associated with protection; the flowers were added to protective wreaths on Midsummer’s night and school children would pick them to ward against their teacher’s wrath! The advancement of Christianity enhanced this connection, the trifoliate leaves were linked to the holy trinity, and the trefoil design was heavily used in gothic architecture. A possible explanation for the Victorian’s dark meaning of revenge, is the small amounts of Cyanide the plant contains. Despite this the flowers were brewed by herbalists in the Sannio region of Italy as a cure for sleep deprivation, anxiety and lack of energy.
