The flower of bush clover was picked up many times in "Manyoushu", Japanese ancient poem books, but not showy. I had pursued the photo of bush clover which glowed wild once, however I could not catch good photo because the shape of the wild one were not of same size and the petals of the flower were smaller than usual. I think the bush clover as garden plant is more excellent than wild one and suits the temple and the Japanese garden.
Byakugou temple was the private place of Prince Shiki in Nara era. When he died, a waka, Japanese poem style, was recited with Bush clover by a great poet, Kanamura Kasa, as following.

02-0231 高円の 野辺の秋萩 いたづらに 咲きか散るらむ 見る人なしに 笠金村
The flower of autumn bush clover glowing wild blossom at Takamado secretly and begin to fall despite Princess Shiki have already died and can not see it. Kanamura Kasa
