I Speak For The Trees

Dalea coerulea, growing in the Quito Botanical Gardens, Quito, Pichincha Province.  Andean Blue Clover is a very common native of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru; it grows as a scrubby groundcover in virtually all biomes.  Although very pretty to look at, it is a clover, and can become quite invasive under certain conditions, namely the presence of abundant water and direct sunlight.  It is perennial and propagates easily by both seeds and cuttings.  It prefers clay soils, but will grow just about anywhere.
