If the flowers are still fresh and bright, the seed from those flowers
is not mature. You want brown, dry fruit on the plants. Why not just
let the infuctescences develop?

Apparently no-one in bio.botany knows when clover seed and trefoil seed
mature. The question arose for a field in which the desire for clover to
spread
and the practice of mowing. Is a clover seed packet of its white-tops
mature
when mowed? Is the yellow top of trefoil mature when mowed?

How to maximize the spread of clover and trefoil in a lawn or meadow by
mowing?

I am researching that question now by planting some of those seed tops.
But amazing that no-one in bio.botany has the answer.
