Sorry it is a trifolium now that I see the flower.

You have to re-upload the second image. The site glitched again and we can't see it.

I have a photo of the flower up now, if that helps with identification.

Could this be Desmodium? Purple flower clusters don't sound right foe Trifolium. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=desmodium+heterocarpon&view=detail&id=7B3538AE87CA3D42ADA520C88E5327CB19397406&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR
