The flower of the Crown Vetch is irregular, reminiscent of a common clover flower. In fact, I always thought it was just big clover. The flowers are pink and white, growing in an umbel cluster.
The leaves grow in an alternate arrangement along the main stem. Upon branching out, they are divided into many opposite leaflets. Tons of this plant were mixed into the restoration meadow we were walking through at this point of our trip. This area was in full sun and would be all day long.
