Help Identifying Flower

[bicycle tim]

Can someone help my wife out and identify this flower which suddenly made our backyard its home?

That is a red clover. Likely from a lawn and garden vendor.

Tim, a botanist friend saw that and suggested crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum) would be more appropriate. Same genus. I've never seen that one myself, so perhaps a patch was grown as an ornamental.
