Canada milkvetch flower stalks are ~6" long, covered by numerous (up to 75) cream-colored, tubular flowers (right side of image). Individual flowers are 1/2-3/4" long, slightly drooping, with five petals making up the tube (like an elongated pea flower) and a short (~1/4") cylindrical calyx of the same color with five thin, green teeth; the tip of the upper petal is reflected upwards. The fruits (left side of image) are short, pea-like legumes packed tightly along the flower spike.
