Trifolium repens, white or Dutch clover, is a perennial abundant in meadows and good pastures. The flowers are white or pinkish, becoming brown and deflexed as the corolla fades. Trifolium hybridum, alsike or Swedish clover, is a perennial which was introduced early in the 19th century and has now become naturalized in Britain.
Between June and November you can watch humpbacks and blue whales, the best time being from June to September. In the waters of Santa Barbara, blue whale sightings are pretty regular, the area being one of the best to see blue whales worldwide. Numerous types of dolphins and occasionally orcas, too, can be spotted here.
Whale watching tours are offered all along the New England coast (see below) typically from May through October. Most take 3-4 hours, heading out to the major whale feeding grounds of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (off Massachusetts), Jeffreys Ledge, or the Gulf of Maine, depending on the port. Be sure to bring a camera, sunscreen and extra clothes since even on hot days the breezes out at sea can be cold.
