Thanks Catherine! The lady at the store told me that they were the same. shaon : Clove and Red Clover aren't related .... : Clove is a hard woody intense spice thing that has gallotannic acid : that will significantly darken henna. : Red Clover is a low growing plant that has 3 leaves and reddish : pom-pom shaped flowers that I used to nibble when I was a girl, but is : much more frequently fed to Cows. Bees love the flowers, and clover : honey is very mild. : Red clover has no dye properties that I am aware of. Enjoy your : clover tea ... with a bit of lemon and a spoonful of honey! I : wouldn't bother putting it in your henna. : When you go back to the store, get bulk cloves (not clover) and simmer : them in lemon juice or coffee, strain that, and add THAT to your henna : for boosting color.
