These are common plants, you can find them flowering now. These pictures were taken June 10, 2009. This is at Cumberland Park in West Lafayette. It's at the edge of the pond just north of the park woods. The paved trail goes right alongside this.
The yellow flowers are birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculata). Easy to spot from a distance as you drive around the Lafayette area. It lays low near the ground under the taller grasses.
